Week of October 17th!

" Fall In Love With Jesus!!" 
We are falling in love more and more each day.  God is good all the time! 

It is so nice to be back!  The students are doing so great and the transition was very smooth.
This week we worked very hard!  The students worked on identifying and blending short /u/ words.  We also focused on summarizing the main idea of a story and finding the sequence of events. We also practiced 's contractions.   

The students are doing such a good job making connections all day long.  They are all earning REAL stickers for making connections of homophones, homographs, homonyms, blends, contractions and many many more. 
In creation station this week the students made instruments. 
 This week we read A Fun Show and Shake a Rattle. 
At the end of the day Friday we used our instruments to put on a show!!!

We are really getting great at Fix It and Stretch It center.  Keep up the good work!  Practice at home too. 

Word Work Center is always fun!  The students sorted words and put them into sentences.


The students read The Red Eyed Tree Frog and brainstormed a word web of ideas on what the frog does not like to eat.  They then wrote about.  Great learning!



This week we started math buddies.  The buddies get together when we are done with independent work to work on concepts.  This week they practiced number bonds and subtraction flashcards which they were very excited about.  :)




Each student had the chance to take the STAR test  this week in class.  We will discuss this at conferences next week.  It is a helpful way to check out library books that are on your child's level. 

Mrs. Moeller pulled all the students this week for fluency checks.  The students are really doing a super job!





SCIENCE
The students were so excited to start our unit on Rocks.  We are discussing living and non living things.  Ask your child to name all of the characteristics that a living thing needs. 





God Bless You All!  Have a blessed weekend and I look forward to meeting with you all next week!
