It was a short, but super-busy week!

Reading: We are working on using those sight words to help us keep our place as we read books. We are really working on pointing to the words as we read them in our small reading groups. We are also practicing retelling stories after we read them. Try this at home. After reading a story, have your child retell the story in his or her own words. Be sure to ask about the characters and settings. Also talke about the beginning, middle and end of a story.
Writing: Mrs. Chinn came in and helped us listen for sounds in words so we could write those sounds down. We also worked on sharing our stories and listening to compliments (stars) and wishes about our writing.
Math: The students worked on ten frames and finding the missing number when we are adding to 10. For example, if we see 5 dots, we know we need 5 more dots to get to 10. We are also practicing showing numbers with our fingers. For example, if we say 5, students can show me 5 fingers on one hand or they could show me 2 fingers on one hand and 3 fingers on the other.
Behavior: We had some "issues" in the hall this week with running and talking too loudly. Please make sure you take a minute to talk to your child about this.
Homework: You are all doing a great job turning in the homework. Remember, it is due on Fridays unless you let me know ahead of time. Also, if you do nothing else...do the reading log! I know it is a little tedious, but it is an expectation throughout the grades, so it is best to get into the habit now. I also like to see what your child is reading at home.
Halloween: Thanks so much to our room parents for getting the Halloween festivities planned! Please take note of a letter that is attached to a recent email about food at parties. The time for the parade is 1:30-2:15.
FUN RUN!!!
If you haven't already asked for pledges for our Fun Run, be sure to do that soon. The Fun Run is an absolutely FABULOUS fund raiser! The kids have so much fun (hence the name!) and it is a great way to show them that fundraising can be healthy and pretty easy. You can use this link to set up a website for your child so you can send out emails to family members. Thanks for your support! Also come on out and cheer us on! Right now we are scheduled to run at 8:15. If it changes, I will let you know.www.getmovingcrew.com
