This week we will be going to Applefest on Wednesday the 18th. It should be a great time! We will be back to school in time to have lunch here at school.
In Language Arts, we will be learning how to correctly form the letter Mm and the sound the letter Mm makes. We will also be learning the sight word the. We will be discussing that good readers use the comprehension strategy asking and answering questions to help them understand stories better. We are continuing along in Writer's Workshop using ilustrations and words to write.
In Math, we will be using matching and counting strategies to help us compare sets that are equal, less than and greater than.
In Social Studies we will finish our I can be me! Books. In religion, we will be discussing ways to show love to God, and that God created us because he loves us so much.
Coming home today is some extra handwriting practice for the letter Mm. I also copied a page that shows the correct way to form the letters. Please have the students complete those sometime during the week and return back to me. This is very important. We need to make sure that the students make their letters correctly, hold the pencil correctly and start from the top not the bottoms. Many of the children need extra practice to doing this. One way is to practice the handwriting, but it is also important that they be given activities that improve their fine motor skills to increase the strength in their hands and forearms. Thanks!
