Week 4

 Dear Parents,

           I am REALLY impressed with your children! They are getting into the routines and building their work stamina! In math this week we have focused on identifying number as tens and ones. We continue to count coins and are working on telling time to the hour. We have been decomposing numbers finding all the combinations of tens and ones that equal a number. Example 46 = 4 tens and 6 ones or 3 tens and 16 ones, or 2 tens and 26 ones, or 1 ten and 36 ones or 46 ones. We have also added number strings on a hundreds chart.

            In writing we are working on designing, writing and illustrating our own book. We are using real authors such as Mo Willems, David Shannon, Steven Kellogg and Lois Ehlert as mentors. We are continuing learning what to do during writing time. This class truly loves to write.

            In reading we focused on story elements and characters as we read Picture Day Perfection. We took a comprehension check as well as filled out a story element chart. Our guided reading groups start next week as we are getting into the routine of what we do independently at this time. Books will start going home in book folders on the days I read with your child. We keep three books at a time so that we can practice rereading these stories until we can read them fluently. These books may be used for their reading log.

            In science we finished up our unit on what scientists do and the tools they use. This unit has been fun as we became scientists and used science tools to make observations of our own.
