Curriculum
Reading
Book Baggies:
Students have 6 books in their bag (two below their reading level to help them work on fluency, two at their level to focus on good reading skills, and two above level to continue to push and grow as readers). These bags will stay at home all week for students to practice reading. It is good to encourage reading and rereading of these books! We will exchange books on Fridays, so please have students return these books next Friday. (Just FYI, Library books are sent in on Thursday.) If a student forgets or is absent one week, they will need to return them the following Friday.
Writing
Next week, students will continue to write their own how to books on building a snowman. They are encouraged to include transition words, write detailed specific steps, numbered steps, and more.
Math
This week, students continued to work on place value and comparing numbers. Next week, we will work on solving number stories.

Social Studies
Our lead time has been going very well. Students are trying to spread kindness and help remind the school to spread kindness! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PARENTS WHO HELPED US DECORATE DOORS and for providing materials or cutting materials to decorate doors! It was a HUGE task and we truly appreciate your kindness and support!
Purposeful Play
Students are really enjoying the opportunity to be creative and use their imagination. I enjoy seeing the problem solving and collaboration that happens. Ask your child what he or she created!
Please see the Purposeful Play tab on the blog to learn more about our weekly Play Time and donation items we could use for it!
Homework
- Read every night
