Week of October 10th

Good Morning!

Our Week Ahead:
Wednesday, October 12 - Library
Reminder: Library is every two weeks.
Thursday, October 13 - Picture Day
Reminder: The form came home last week with the date highlighted.

Conferences: If you have not signed up for a conference yet, or if we are playing phone tag, my number is 455-9609. Let's connect so we can sit down and talk about your little one.

Homework: By now many of you are in the flow of our weekly homework. This enables the children to use math skills and strategies that we are practicing in class. If there is something I can help with please don't hesitate to call or email. Homework shouldn't be a confusing part to your already busy evenings. So please, let me help.

Book Pouches: As you know, the book pouches are now on their way to your homes every evening. The book(s) that are inside are typically ones your child has read at school, and one that they can read independently. The ones used for strategies or instruction or those that are at what we call the instructional level are reserved for groups at school. Your child may need to practice a strategy on a couple words in the books sent home, but they should be reading them smoothly and independently. Again, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Math: We will be wrapping up our current unit on Number Sense this week. This unit allows the kids the start practicing adding and thinking how and what ways they use to add. Additionally, we discuss how word families work.

Have a great week!
