Parent/Teacher Conferences - October 3 & 5
👨👩👦👦 Family Board - Photos Needed
I am creating a "family" board in our classroom (see explanation below). Please take a moment to send me a photo of your child with their family - this can include just immediate family or grandparents/anyone considered family! I will display these in our classroom on a special board. 😊 You can send in a printed photo, or if you message/email it to me I am more than happy to print it out.
🤓 This Week's Learning
📚 Reading: We learned how to read punctuation, how to mark our thinking while we read, and how to set reading goals.
✏️ Writing: We learned how to give compliments and ask for feedback on our writing. We learned about editing and revising our writing.
🔢 Math: We learned how to measure objects.
🌏 Social Studies: We finished our citizenship unit by creating posters for our community and school. These posters will encourage citizens to follow school and community rules!
Math Extra Practice - Optional!!
Second Step Lesson - Try At Home!
In this week’s lesson, your child learned that helpful thoughts can help us keep going when we’re learning and unhelpful thoughts might make us want to give up.
Try This at Home:
Ask your child whether the thoughts they have when they’re learning something new are helpful or unhelpful. Ask your child to share examples of helpful thoughts they know.
