September 14 - 18

We've had a great week, and are starting to settle into a routine with our students. We have enjoyed learning about their favorite activities, their adorable pets, and their exciting adventures they have planned! 

This week we started meeting in small groups in both reading and math. Small groups are held right after our Live Lesson ends. In reading we are practicing fluency, and decoding by reading the Letterland Play. In math we are going over the math concept of the day, and practicing our math skills. 

*Please make sure students have the following supplies near their work area during the school day:

      Composition books -  Word Work, Math, Writing Journal, and Math Binder with hole punched math pages from Wake County

Next week at a glance:

Letterland:  Closed and open syllables -  short sounds  a, i, u,   long sounds i, u

There will be daily activities in the Word Work Journal as well as Kids A to Z spelling practice. Please make sure students take the spelling pretest and the final spelling test at the end of the week. Once they take the final spelling test the spelling games can not be accessed. 

EL - Unit 1 School and Community 

We will be reading "The Invisible Boy" and discussing how the main character feels in the story.  Follow up activities are in the EL workbook and in Google Classroom. 

Math - In math we will be finishing up odd and even and starting make a ten strategies. There will be a quiz on number lines and even and odd on Thursday. It will be assigned in the Google Classroom. Please make sure students have thier math pages in their binders for asynchronous time. 

Science -  Next week we will begin our unit on sound. Students will discover how sound is produced by vibrating objects, and how sound travels through the air in waves. 

Thanks for all your support and have a great long weekend!
