Sunday Post

Hi Families,

You get an early post this morning!  I am off to my nephews 1st birthday party!  It should be a beautiful day.  I hope that everyone has enjoyed their weekend.  I have to share that I am so thrilled with the group of students in my class.  They have already learned so much.  Their enthusiasm for learning and willingness to try new things impresses me each day.  Keep up the good work!!!

A few notes for the week:

-Tuesday: Library lesson and book exchange with Ms. Datolli 

-Tuesday: Pizza Hut fundraiser all day

-Thursday: Book Fair Kick Off!

-Friday: We will visit the book fair as a class...students will get a chance to preview books.  They may not purchase books at this time.  

-We will visit the center room on Monday and Thursday 

-Homework will be sent home in homework journals on October 1st

-We will begin reading group rotations next week 

Questions to ask your students: 

-What stations did you attend this week?

-What are magnets attracted to?

-What are magnets not attracted to? 

-Why do you use a checklist during writing?

-What does it mean to subitize? 

-Explain what it means to visualize what you hear? (students will listen to The Napping House, Goodnight Moon, Go Away Big Green Monster and 2 informational books...they will draw illustrations to match what they hear.  We will then read the story with illustrations and compare our visualizations) 

-Can magnets pull through objects?

-Practice matching a quantity to a numeral 

-Recite This Is The Way We Wash Our Face

-Find an object in the house...identify that objects beginning sound (ex: Box...B)

If you have any questions, please ask!

Have a super week,

Ms. Grimes
