This has been a very busy start to the school year, as I'm sure all of you are feeling the business also. I will try to write a blog once a week or at least every other week to keep you up to date with what is going on in the classroom. Here are a few highlights from the different subject areas.
Reading: We have been working on short vowel sounds /a/ and /i/, we've started our small group guided reading groups (some students meet with Mrs. Scorza), we've learned some new vocabulary, and talked about retelling a story using a beginning, middle and end.
Math: We did some review of number writing 0-9, tally marks, and telling time on the hour. We have also had the opportunity to use the classroom calculators and we received our own math tool kits. Ask your child what we have in them so far.
Writing: We have worked on sentences containing a telling and a naming part. Our goal now is to try to write 2-3 sentences about ourself or something. Another goal for writing right now is to remember spaces between words, capital at the beginning of sentences, and punctuation at the end of the sentence.
Science: Mrs. Scorza has just completed the plant unit. We have learned about the parts of plants, what the function of the different parts are, and the life cycle of a plant.
Social Studies: Next week Mrs. Scorza will be moving us on to social studies with a few lessons about Columbus Day
