A big thank you to all of the parents that volunteered to drive for our field trip on Wednesday! Our field trip to Appledorn Living Center was a big success and we could not have done it without you. We were able to practice the common good and brighten the day of some of the seniors living there. We sand carols and delivered cards. The kids did a great job!
This past week in reading the students continued to work on punctuation, including the question mark, the exclamation point, the period and quotation marks. We practice these daily and the students are doing a great job! When we come back from break we will really be focusing on concepts of print and where we see these symbols when reading. We learned a new sight word this week: come. We continue to practice these sight words and students are tested every Tuesday for growth. They are doing so well!
In writing this week we learned about writing lists. We talked about how writers not only write stories, they write lists and letters too. The students had so much fun practicing their writing in list form! They were given choices of different types of lists to write. We practiced writing grocery lists and they did a wonderful job.
Due to the Christmas Extravaganza, field trip and Synergy Day, we only had Math once this week. Students practiced graphing by cutting out gingerbread men, sorting them, and graphing them by category. They did a great job with this!
In Social Studies we discussed differences between goods and services. We used the interactive Smartboard to help us differentiate between the two. Students would point to each item and determine if it were a good or service and explain why.
Notes/Reminders:
-We will begin weekly spelling tests soon after we return from break
-Please continue to review sight word lists with your child. They will be tested every Tuesday for growth and will be given the next list once they pass the one they are on.
-Please continue to pack your child a snack every day as well as keep a pair of extra clothes in his/her locker
-The Beta high school is hosting an upcoming talent show. If your child would like to be a part of this, sign-ups are outside of the high school room. Please let me know if I can help you with this.
Ms. Monica
