We are Learning About:
Reading: We will be doing the “Daily 5.” throughout the rest of the school year! It is part of our Literacy block where the children go to 5 different centers relating to reading. The centers are: 1. “Read to Self.” 2. “Read to Someone.” 3. “Word Work.” . 4. The fourth center is called “Listen to Reading.” The Fifth and last Center is the “Writing” center.
We have been working on Phonics by learning Rhyme Production, Blending Phonemes, Isolating Medial (middle) sounds, Substituting Initial Phonemes, and Deleting Phonemes. We continue to learn Onset Fluency (beginning sound), Ending Fluency (ending sound in a word), Blending words, Segmenting Phonemes, Adding Phonemes, Letter Naming & the sound they make. We have learned all the letters of the alphabet.
Math: We will practice our adding, subtracting, and money this week.
Religion: We will learn about ”Holy Week”
Humanities: We will learn about, “ The Plagues in Egypt”
Science: We will continue learning about Magnets!!
Star of the Week for March 16, 2020
Prince Y.
Prince was out ill most of the week that he was supposed to be the Star, so this week he will be Star!! This will be the last of all the students getting to have a week all their own. Then, I will have one student, most days, be the “Star of the Day.” So, they will be the line leader and help with the morning calendar routine.
Memory/Sight Words
Memory/Sight words are words we find in every sentence we read. Students must know these words to be able to read a sentence. Students should memorize these words, NOT sound them out. Please practice these words every day, both reading them and spelling them.

Outside Clothing
Parents, please make sure your child (ren) is still wearing/bringing winter, outdoor clothing to school for their recess time. There is plenty of snow on our playground and the weather is still cold-especially that wind! They should still have snow pants, boots, coat, hat and mittens on. THANK YOU!
