Happy New Year to you all! I hope you have all had a fun and healthy winter break! I have certainly enjoyed spending some quality time with my family, although my teenagers may disagree 😉 Here are some important reminders and classroom happenings this week. Please let me know if you have questions, concerns, or celebrations as we start this new semester.
Reminders:
- I am attaching the virtual learning schedule for the week which details the times when students should be logging in for live lessons. I will also give reminders/instructions to them while we are on the Teams meetings letting them know when to log back in and what to work on when not in the meetings.
- In short, here are the times they should be logging in to Microsoft Teams on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday:
- 8:00-8:45 - Morning Meeting and Math (we will break away for small group math instruction – detailed in the attached schedule).
- 8:55-9:40 - Specials (Wednesday: Art, Thursday: Music, Friday: Discovery Lab)
- 9:45-10:40 - ELA (phonics, reading, Rethink Ed)
- The rest of the day will be spent completing Seesaw assignments, working on iReady math and reading, reading books, or free writing in their journals.
- I will attach the spelling words for the week, but please note that we will not be taking a spelling test this week.
Classroom Happenings:
- Math 1.2 – We will be learning to tell time on digital and analog clocks to the hour and half hour.
- Math 2.1 – We will be reviewing place value up to the 100s place by representing numbers with place value blocks, and comparing numbers using place value.
- Phonics – Our phonics skill this week is words with long and short i. We will not have a spelling test this week!
- Reading – Our skill this week is identifying the central message (moral) of a story. We will be reading and retelling the following fables: The Crow and the Pitcher, The Tortoise and the Hare, and The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
- Writing and Grammar – We will be writing about our New Year’s Resolutions and learning how and when to use commas in our writing.
- Social Studies – This week we will learn all about Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt and how he made life better for people in our country.
Have a wonderful week!!
