The Owl Times      

October Week of 10/31 – 11/4

Themes: Halloween, Election Day, Veteran’s Day, NutritionLetters: e and rSight word:  as, has (words so far: the, is, his, I, a, are, and, to, go)

If you haven’t turned your Shutterfly form and donation to the class parents, please do so!

Monday, 10/31 Halloween Parade 12:30. Please send your child’s costume in a labeled separate bag. They will be changing in the classroom before the parade. Our class party will follow. If you signed up to bring in an item for the Halloween

party, please make sure it is in by tomorrow. Thank you so much for your donations.

Fundations: Letters e and r

The handwriting HW page will come home on Tuesday and it is not due until Friday. This allows the children to practice forming the letters correctly in class before taking the homework home. They should be saying the procedure aloud while they form the letters on the homework. Continue to practice the formation and sounds throughout the week. 

Reading:  I will be assessing the students again on their capital and lowercase letters, letter sounds, sight words learned so far, and identifying & writing their numbers. 

We are continuing our Nonfiction unit.

We will continue to build stamina by reading independently with our book bins and reading folders each day.

Your child will continue to exchanging books and bring home new books in his/her reading folder. Feel free to read them to your child if they are too difficult. As I meet with your child for guided reading, he/she will be bringing home books that we read together. This is very exciting and your child should reread these books at night to you.  Your child will get 2 new sight words this week too in his/her sight word folder. Practice daily.

Writing: We are almost done with our first book. After selecting a topic that interested them, students have been working hard  drafting their book. They will be completing it this week. 

Math:  

We will begin Chapter 4 this week. This week we will work on the numbers up to 10. 

Please reinforce writing these numbers at home.

Show and Tell:Show and tell this week. You child may bring an item from home that begins with the letter e or r. Last Names A-L (You have Show and Tell on Tuesdays)Last Names M-Z (You have Show and Tell on Wednesdays)See the Show and Tell page for the letters each week.*Your child can choose either letter for their show and tell item each week!

Star Student: Jocelyn  is our star of the week!! We can’t wait to see her poster on Monday! Mrs. Gonzalez, you may come in on Thursday to read a story to the class at 2:30.

Healthy Snack:Please make sure you pack a SEPARATE snack in your child’s bookbag, even if you should buy lunch. We eat snack around 10:30 am.

Behavior:We filled up our Brownie tray with Brownie points this past week. I took the students to the “Shake it Out” room in the PLC. They LOVED it! Imagine a room filled with all different toys. Hopefully, they will work together to fill up their class tray again so we can have another class reward.

Students are continuing to fill up their buckets on an individual basis for kind acts and good behavior.  Please reinforce at home good behavior in class (sitting in his/her seat on the rug nicely, listening when someone is talking and showing respect and keep his/her hands to himself/herself.)

     

Handwriting: This week’s homework will be the letter e and r worksheet (both sides). Due Friday.

Reading: 

**Review sounds learned so far:  You say the sound, they give you the letter and vice versa. Students should be practicing identifying the uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet too. Learned so far: t, b, i, o, u, c, m, n, a, g, f, d, s

Read each night! Books will be on one side of their reading folder that they can read at night. Like I stated above, feel free to read aloud to your child.  He/she can read any easier books or the guided reading books that we worked on together in class. Their sight words will be on the other side. Please review those daily and move them to the “learned” side once your child knows them. This folder goes back and forth to school each day.

A math packet will come home daily. It contains the lesson completed in class and also a homework page and lesson review.  Please use those extra pages for some
