Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
What do plants need to live?
Magical Mathematicians
Please read the following problem with your child and help him solve the problem.
John has 16 donuts. He wants to divide them into a group of ten and some more. How can he divide his donuts? (Answer: a group of ten and six ones)
(If your child is ready, perhaps challenge him with higher numbers, perhaps numbers 15-20.)
Your child can earn a special reward by drawing a picture to illustrate the math problem above. Please return the math work on Monday.
Reading in Action
Read a story to your child. Ask your child...
What is your favorite part of the story?
Literacy Workstations
Writers Workshop
As writers, we can use mentor texts to notice, name and try out moves that other authors make.
Reading Workshop
As readers, we can retell stories by saying what happens across the pages.
Math Workshop
As mathematicians, we can compose and decompose numbers 11-19.
Social Sciences
As Scientists, we can tell about plants and what they need to live.
Shared Reading
As readers, we can tell details from the story.
Family Activities
Please share family activities with us. We will try to provide time for your child to share about their special activities in class and also post some of the pictures in our newsletter. This is a great way for us to share with one another and build our classroom community/family.
