This week we will complete our Tell Me A Story Planner. We will be doing an author study on Alma Flor Ada and also read many books from the Strega Nona series. Some of the activities we will do are...
1) Read Jordi's Star and paint our own pond and star.
2) Read The Gold Coin and write about what we would do with a golden coin.
3) Read The Rooster Who Went to His Uncle's Wedding and sequence the events of the story.
4) Read The Malachite Palace and make a friendship quilt.
5) Read The Three Golden Oranges and make our own orange tree.
This week we are out of LDC so we will pick back up with journal writing. I sent home some extra journals so that you could practice at home. If you are monitoring your child when they are writing at home, some things you might point out are spaces between words, using only one capital letter per sentence, and taking time to form letters correctly. When your child has filled up his or her journal, send it back to school to receive a prize. This may take a month or more.
Our sight words this week are OR, HAD and UP.
In math we will continue learning about measuring and move in to ordinal numbers.
Other Important Information:
- This week we will have a Positive Works pep rally on Friday. Please send your child to school in a blue uniform shirt.
- Book Orders are due on Wednesday. FYI I saw a pack of Sight Word Readers that may be helpful if your child is struggling with memorizing the sight words. This is the hardest part for those kiddos on level 3 because these words can't be sounded out.
- Fairy Tale Village Home Project---Look for info in the Tuesday folder.
