IMPORTANT INFORMATION School starts at 8:40 and gets out at 3:20. We will always enter and leave the building at the first grade doors! Bring your planner and folder daily to school! J LUNCH CHOICES Monday: BBQ Rib Sandwich, Hamburger, Grilled Cheese Sandwich Tuesday: Orange Chicken, Mini Corn Dogs and Chef Salad Wednesday: Canyons Chicken Bowl, Nachos or Wow Butter and Jelly Sandwich Thursday: Mac & Cheese, , Chicken Nuggets and Taco Salad Friday: Cheese (or Pepperoni) Pizza, Bean Burrito or Turkey Sandwich WHAT WE ARE LEARNING ELA: We are moving forward and starting our first unit of reading street this week! Our question of the week is "What do pets need?" Our story is titled "Sam, Come Back!" It is a realistic fiction story. We will be working on our short /a/ sound as well as the consonant pattern -ck. Now, this week, the spelling words will be quite simple for these bright students so we will be practicing other words that follow the same pattern. This is one way that we will be challenging our talented, smart brains! A spelling list will be coming home with your child on Tuesday! We will also be working on rhyming words and writing complete thoughts and sentences, remembering our capital letter at the beginning and our punctuation at the end. We are learning stations for our skill based instruction. This week, we will be working on mastering buddy reading! CHINESE: We have been working on colors all week and will continue to review them as we move on to animals and articles of clothing. If students have pictures of family pets or want to print out a picture of their favorite animal to bring to school on Wednesday September 13th, we will use them for an in-class activity. Your students are getting so good at introducing family members! We love having the family pictures up in our classroom. MATH: For math homework this week, students will review addition strategies (adding to, putting together, and solving for unknown addends). Students will continue to work on solving addition problems where both addends are unknown, as well as exploring strategies for subtraction problems (take from and compare situations). We are working to create additional challenges for students who are already very comfortable with basic addition and subtraction using numbers 1-10, but are emphasizing the development of students' abilities to talk about math in Chinese. HOMEWORK: We are starting homework. We will have reading fluency, beat the clock, spelling practice and read for 10 minutes.
For example: I read 53 words TOTAL including all the errors I made and I made 6 errors throughout the passage. My “parent” would take 53 words minus 6 which equals 47 words per minute. (53-6=47) Our Winter goal is for oral reading fluency is 23 words in 1 minute with accuracy of 78%. Here’s to an awesome week!
