Please continue to work on these words. Each student has a sight word review page in his or her book bag for trimester 1, 2, or 3. Once one "level" is mastered, students get a prize from the treasure box and the next "level" is given. <span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Practice</span> these review pages every day! </span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;" /><span class="style_6" style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><strong></strong></span><span style="color: red; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="style_6" style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="color: blue;">Letter Team:</span></strong></span><span class="style_2" style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">There will be no new letter teams introduced until after Spring Break.

I am finding that students do a great job referring to the tens frame and answering "ways to make 10" questions, but struggle with ways to make other numbers, so let's make sure we are also asking, "If we need 7 apples and we have four, how many more would we need?" We will be discussing different strategies for this in class. </span><br /><span class="style_6" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong></span><br /><span class="style_6" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: blue;">Leadership:</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">We will continue to ROAR and discuss what it means to have a growth mindset!</span></div>

Keep practicing those addition and subtraction math tests at home so you can pass your next level this week!</span></span></span></span></span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" /><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"></span><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;"><b>Leadership:</b></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">We will continue to ROAR and discuss what it means to have a growth mindset!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Jenn Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378974216213109093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446003905186822814.post-51047095600222758512020-01-16T19:31:00.001-08:002020-01-16T19:31:15.552-08:00Homework: January 21-24<b style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Flashcards:</b><b style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px;"> </b><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.7833px;">Make flashcards for our new sight words</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.7833px;"> </span><span class="style_2" style="background-color: white; color: #ff2500; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; opacity: 1;">(ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE),</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #323333; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px;"> and letter teams </span><span class="style_2" style="background-color: white; color: #ff2500; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; opacity: 1;">(ONG and ONK).</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #323333; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px;"> Study flashcards every day.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.7833px;"><br /></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.7833px;"><b style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Phonemic Awareness: </b><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Please work with your child on: rhyming, blending, segmenting, syllables, and beginning/middle/ending sounds. </span></span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="color: red; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"></span><br />

Inside books bags, each student should have: sight words and letter teams of the week, a sight word review page at their level, one or two fluency stories, 2-3 A-Z books, and some classroom library books they have chosen. This probably seems like a lot, but I just want to give each student the opportunity to read, read, read! We are learning that readers get better at reading by.. READING! Students will have a book bag "check-in" at the end of each week, where we will read everything from their bag together and they will receive a star for each item they read fluently. </span></span></div>

Students will practice how to state their opinion based on a writing prompt and give two or three explanations to back their opinion. For example: Which fruit do you think is the best, apples or bananas? In my opinion apples are the best fruit. Apples make delicious pies. They are also a quick and healthy snack you can take anywhere without getting smushed. Apples are also good for gooey caramel apples that are fun to make and eat! We will also continue to practice our narrative writing. We will also continue to work on proper penmanship and writing conventions such as periods and correct capitalization. </span><span class="style_10" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="color: red;"><br style="line-height: 28.7833px;" /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="line-height: 28.7833px;" /></span></span></span></span><br />

Please go over this pre-test and reinforce these skills at home. We have also begun taking Math Fact Fluency Tests.

Make sure that you are reading your</span><span class="style_3" style="font-stretch: normal; opacity: 1;"> book bag every night! Inside books bags, each student should have: sight words and letter teams of the week, a sight word review page at their level, one or two fluency stories, 2-3 A-Z books, and some classroom library books they have chosen. This probably seems like a lot, but I just want to give each student the opportunity to read, read, read! We are learning that readers get better at reading by.. READING! Students will have a book bag "check-in" at the end of each week, where we will read everything from their bag together and they will receive a star for each item they read fluently. </span></span></div>

Beginning after the holiday break, we will now have each student write his/her first and <span class="style_1" style="line-height: 22px; text-decoration-line: underline;">LAST NAME</span> on all papers, homework, etc. If your child does not know how to write his/her last name, please practice this at home. We will be practicing at school as well. Each student will now have last names written on their NEW Take Home Folders and name tags for support in the classroom. </div>

Yes, we have NEW Take Home Folders! These will be the <span class="style_1" style="line-height: 22px; text-decoration-line: underline;">LAST</span> Take Home Folder for the year, so we will be discussing responsibility and handle and care of these folders in the classroom. There might even be prizes awarded throughout the rest of the year on "Who has the nicest and cleanest Take Home Folder"! Please remember to bring these folders EVERY DAY!! Please also remember to empty the folder of papers every day, only returning book bags, turn-in projects, or any other important papers that need to be returned. </div>

Also beginning after the holiday break each child will have a “bank” in the classroom. Each day your child will have the opportunity to earn money throughout our day. Students will have the opportunity to receive pennies, nickels, and dimes in the classroom as rewards for behavior and hard work throughout the day. On Fridays students will visit the CLASS STORE! Each student will count money, trade money (example: five pennies for one nickel) and have the opportunity to spend their money on the items that are now “on sale” at the class store. Of course, bigger treasures will cost more money, which I hope will reinforce self-control and teach students about saving. Each child will be responsible for keeping track of their own bank and for counting the money in it. (This will be great math practice). <span class="style_2" style="color: red; line-height: 22px; opacity: 1;">The bank is designed to teach responsibility and accountability as well as reinforce math skills. </span>This is a great life skill your child will benefit from in the future!! Thank you for your continued support. </div>

This week, we will begin taking Math Fluency Tests on our Number Bonds (ways to make 3, ways to make 4, etc.) and adding and subtracting math facts through five. Our Common Core Standard is that by the end of kindergarten, students will fluently (meaning without fingers or manipulatives) be able to add and subtract within five. Students will have the opportunity to practice these facts and take weekly tests. Please remember that we would like all students to master this standard by the <span class="style_1" style="line-height: 22px; text-decoration-line: underline;">end of the year</span>. My hope is that each week, we will accomplish a little bit more on these tests. Please reinforce and practice these skills at home. Thank you for your support!</div>

For example: Which fruit do you think is the best, apples or bananas? In my opinion apples are the best fruit. Apples make delicious pies. They are also a quick and healthy snack you can take anywhere without getting smushed. Apples are also good for gooey caramel apples that are fun to make and eat! We will also continue to practice our narrative writing. We will also continue to work on proper penmanship and writing conventions such as periods and correct capitalization. <span class="style_10" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span class="style" style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; opacity: 1;"><br /></span></div>

Please check your daily math page coming home each day for skills that you need to work on. An expectation for a few problems on Daily Math is that students are able to give four number sentences on each of the tens and ones problems. For example, when the problem reads 10 and 9 is 19, we would like students to write: 10+9=19, 9+10=19, 19-10=9 and 19-9=10. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">We are so excited to perform our play, "The Tale of the Gingerbread Man" on Thursday. There will be a school day performance at 8:30 and an evening performance at 6:00. Please remember to send your child to school on Thursday wearing plain clothing (black pants/leggings with a plain black or white top) and please meet at the church at 5:45 (no earlier, please, we are trying to courteous of others parking!) for our evening performance. </span><br />

Do not forget to bring your white elephant $1 gift to school sometime before this day - remember, this is a wrapped gift that could be for a boy or a girl. On Friday, your child will be coming home with their large brown "Busy Bag". This will be filled with all of our Christmas Art, December projects, stockings, a small gift for each student from me, and our Christmas presents we have made for mom and dad. </span></span></span></span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.8px;"><span style="color: blue; line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.75px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.8px;"><span style="color: blue; line-height: 28.7833px;"><span style="line-height: 28.75px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">There are no electives this week and no Success Academy.

We will be learning about the different holidays of the season, working on fun Christmas projects, playing fun math games, performing our play, and reading many books about our holiday season.

We will still take home our book bags to practice reading, but there will be no new sight words, letter teams, fluencies, or leveled readers. Keep reading all of those little paper books at home over the break as well as playing Smarty Ants and Dreambox. </span></span>Jenn Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378974216213109093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446003905186822814.post-1269369656300759372019-12-05T13:35:00.000-08:002019-12-05T13:35:01.238-08:00Weekly News: December 9-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;">
