Upcoming Events for October 16th-20th

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

Learning Objectives










  • Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Flippy Dolphin strategy (Flip the vowels. EX: Try out a long "a" sound if that doesn't sound right try the short "a" sound). We will study words that have l-blends. We will practice reading, sorting, writing, and spelling during Word Study time. 
  • Writing: We will write stories about a time in our life when we felt sad or mad. Students will be encouraged to use speech bubbles. We will work on adding more details to our illustrations and sentences. We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. I encourage students to be fearless spellers. This means they sound out unknown words or look to the Word Wall for assistance. 
  • Math: We will continue to find unknown partners of numbers using story problems and math mountains. We will discuss the term "greater than" and "less than" and add nickels and pennies. 
  • Science: We will learn about force and motion. ***On Tuesday, October 24th students are allowed to bring in a toy and explain how it moves (ex: a toy car is pushed to move, a wagon is pulled)
  • Character:  Anti-Bullying lessons





1.) Math Homework: Homework book pages 71-82

2.) Have your child read the leveled books that are sent home (please return these the NEXT day because we need them for our reading group)
