Teddy Bear Week

Monday

I will not be at school today, students will have a substitute.  If you need to change your child's transportation method please call the office.  I'm sure the kids will have a great day, they are really getting into the swing of things :).    


Homework

There is no poetry homework this week.  Instead we are asking you to decorate your Trick-or-Treater as a family project.  This should be a fun project that you complete with your child.

What We are Learning…

Big Book/Shared Reading: This week we will read lots of teddy bear themed stories.  Our focus story is Corduroy and our classroom poem is called Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear. Students may bring a Teddy Bear or stuffed animal to school on Friday. 
Phonics: We are working on creating our classroom alphabet book and alphabet wall.
Phonemic Awareness: We are working on rhyming, isolation, and syllables. 
Sight Words: Our new sight word this week is GO.
Daily Five: This week we will rotate through our Daily Five centers in small groups.  During class students will get a chance to read independently and with a buddy, they will listen to stories, work with words and work on writing.
Writing: We will continue to write teaching stories, we will stretch out words and write the sounds we hear to label our pictures.  We will focus on persevering even when words or pictures are difficult to write or draw.
Math: This week we will practice writing numeral 0-5, we will learn about positional words and 3 dimensional shapes.
