Another awesome week in room 535!
When we return from the break we will do a review of social studies standards from this marking period (Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Bald Eagle, Statue of Liberty, and Thanksgiving).
In math we will continue with measurement. We will review comparing and ordering by length, height, and capacity. We will learn how to compare and order by weight, too. Putting the objects in order (shortest to tallest, holds the least to the most, lightest to heaviest, etc.) is sometimes difficult. Practice at home with household items (toys, cups, bowls, shoes, etc).
The kids are doing great with their letter sounds. For this marking period the kids need to know the 23 consonant sounds. Short vowel sounds will be added 3rd quarter. Practice blending the letter sounds with the phonics homework.
I have sent home writing paper to be used over the break. Please have your child write about something they did over the break. I am not looking for correct spelling (if they do it's a bonus!), but phonetic spelling is important. I want them to write down the letter sounds they hear. Encourage them to write more than one sentence using finger spaces between words, a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end. Give lots of praise for their hard work. When we return from the break they can share with the class.
The kids have had a great three months of school and are deserving of a nice, long break! Mrs. Christian and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for the 18 children we have the privilege to teach and spend our days with!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
