Hello fabulous parents,
I just wanted to let you know that I will be out of town Wednesday afternoon through Monday. My son was selected to play in the Nature Valley First Tee Open in Pebble Beach, California. It is a Champions Golf Tour event where champions are paired with junior golfers. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity. My husband and I are very excited to support him in this adventure. This will be publicized on the Golf Channel. How fun!
Ms. Lind will be their guest teacher. She has subbed several times for me. A big thanks to her!
In math, we are continuing our math facts. We have been working on ways to make 11 and 12. We also have been learning the addition strategies: commutative property (aka flip flop) and adding with zero. We will be learning counting on, doubles, and doubles + 1.
In reading, we have been learning about schema (what we already know) and how we can correct our schema. We learned many new facts about bees and chameleons. We continue to work on our center rotations and we will be starting reading groups on October 5. I can't wait!
We will begin practicing spelling next week. Our first word list will be words with short a. Our first spelling test will be on October 9 and will be words with short i.
In writing, we just finished our first story. We went through all the phases: planning, drafting, revising, and editing. We will be publishing next. Next week we will start on narrative writing.
In handwriting, we are continuing to work through the alphabet and should be done the first week in October.
Don't forget about Saturday Live! The PTA is very short on candy donations. Would you be able to bring a couple bags of non-melting candy?
Have a great rest of the week. If you have any questions or concerns, I will be checking my email periodically.
