Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’
Newsletter (Week of January 9, 2017)
Welcome back to school for the New
Year! We have been working very hard
getting back into the routine and continuing to progress on our skills. Coming up this week, we are starting new Math
and Reading topics.
Math: Our
new topic is, Topic 5, Numbers to 20. We
will be counting, reading, and writing numbers 11-20 and will be using logical reasoning
to problem solve. Words to know include
ten frame and double ten frame.
Practicing counting, writing, and reading these numbers at home is
beneficial to reinforce what we are working on in school.
Reading: Our
new story is Farfallina and Marcel
and it is a trade book that we will use to focus on plot of the story. Our amazing words include: goose,
caterpillar, reflection, gosling, butterfly, cocoon. This story ties nicely into Science topics that include:
migration and metamorphosis. We will
also be looking at captions in the book and reviewing other text features like
bold words and types of punctuation.
Ideas
for practice: We review daily: all letters and sounds and
words that begin with each letter. We
also work on blending sounds together smoothly when reading. Please review all sight words and continue
with the January AR reading log as the goal is at least 15 books per month. We have a few students who can orally count
to 100 and they are able to have their names on the wall for meeting the goal.
**If you need any more ideas
for practice or have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call, send
an email, or write a note in the folder.
Thanks for all of your cooperation, we are very proud of the progress
made over the past few month and look forward to even more growth the second
half of the year!
