What a Busy week!
Literacy this week has been focused on PALS Reading Assessments. Each student read leveled sight words with me, and based on those lists, students read passages and answered comprehension questions to check for understanding. I am looking forward to share the results with you at conferences. Reading groups and Word Study will begin soon :).
We are also enjoying Making Meaning Read aloud's. Top Chefs enjoyed Jamaica Tag-Along and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Students talked about text-to-self connections and focusing on characters and setting of the stories. * Handwriting books began today! Students had a Poem to reproduce in their best handwriting focusing on the 4 keys to legibility... SHAPE, SIZE, SPACING and SLANT.
Top Chefs have had a lot of fun exploring our homework assignment... Likely/Unlikely. It is such a great way to get to learn more about each other and find things we have in common with our classmates. Please have your child bring in their index card if they have not already done so.
In Math, we are on our way to utilizing ST Math in class. The students are logging in and Playing The Grey! Feel free to explore at home with your child as the program differentiates for each student and builds upon their unique strengths and needs. Ask your child about Coin Bingo. We are reviewing names and values of coins. Practice at home with your Top Chef :).
**Reflex Math Has Begun...Please see the letter sent home today in your child's red homework folder explaining all about this great math fluency program.
