Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter
Week of January 15, 2018
***In Math, we will continue Topic 5, Numbers
to 20. Our topic essential question
is: “How can numbers to 20 be counted, read, and written?” Our new math words are: seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. We will also review ten frames. When there is one counter in each section of
the ten frame and the ten frame is filled, we know that there is ten without
counting. When we have more than one
filled ten frame, we can count by tens.
***In Reading, our new story is: Then and Now. We will be
discussing how things we use today are different from things used long
ago. We will also work on drawing
conclusions. Our amazing words are:
gears, webcams, phonograms, headphones, handwritten, newspapers.
We will also work with meaningful word groups.
***Handwriting/Writing- We will review some of the lowercase letter
formations, rhyming words, writing a sentence, and labels for words. We will continue to stress writing words with
lowercase letters and only use capitals to start a sentence or important words.
***Important Reminders- Please practice the sight words daily. It will make reading so much easier for your
child. Please also read a book a night
and log it for the January AR log. Please
continue to check your child’s folder each night and contact us with any
questions or concerns. Also, please
continue to review: counting to 100, all letters and their sounds, rhyming
words, first sounds of words, and writing numbers to 20.
On Monday, we will review being respectful and
teamwork. If students earn 4 stars they will be able to dress down on Friday
January 26th. Please remember that from now until the end of the
year, all dress down days are Jeans or sweatpants with a Spartan shirt.
Our Boosterthon Fundraiser will kick off Tuesday,
January 16th. Our goal is to
