Short but Productive Week

Although we only had three days of school last week, we sure were busy and got a lot done!  Some highlights of this week included:

• Going to the computer lab to learn how to log in to RAZ kids.  The students enjoyed reading their books on the computer and earning star points.

• Learning a new word game called "Word Race".  The children reviewed word wall words during this game where they rolled dice and wrote the words in a graph.  It was a race to see which word made it to the top first!

• Hearing Poppleton stories during our classroom read aloud.  The kids have enjoyed the various Poppleton stories each day.  Some of them may even bring a Poppleton book home to read with you next week from the library. 

• Finishing up Unit 2 in Math.  We tested our 2nd unit in Math and that test came home with your child last week.  If there were any corrections to be made on the test, please have your child make those corrections at home.  

• We enjoy singing our math songs each day during our calendar routine at the smartboard.  We sing songs that help us practice skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's.  We also sing songs about adding doubles, making sums of 10, and counting money.  Ask your child to share these songs with you.  They sure have fun singing them in school, especially when I bring out our microphone!  

I really enjoyed meeting with all of you during parent/teacher conferences last week.  I truly enjoy sharing all of the wonderful things your child is doing and how well they are progressing in school.  Thank you for being such an intregal part of their learning.  I appreciate your support at home.
