I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and were able to spend some time outdoors on Sunday! Below is a sneak peak at our learning for the upcoming week!
Word Wall/ Spelling: Our 5 new words are: bed, though, away, over, & until. This week we will work on words with the controlled 'r' sound or 'bossy r'. We will learn that the 'r' does all of the talking in words such as: her, girl, hurt... The vowel is there, but you cannot really hear it! We will practice reading and writing many different words with 'bossy r' this week!
Reading: We will be reading lots of books by Dr. Seuss this week in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday! Wednesday, March 2nd is Crazy Hat Day at Eagle! Your child can wear a silly hat or he/she can make one at school. Also, please send in any books that you have at home by Dr. Seuss. Be sure your child's name is written on the inside. We are looking forward to having fun while reading these silly rhyming stories all week! We will be sure to make some fun crafts to go along with our Dr. Seuss theme.
Writing: We are continuing our work on review writing. This week we are learning that review writers do a lot of different things in their writing to convince readers to pay attention. Review writers often have catchy beginnings, they use comparisons, and they sometimes add small moment stories too. Try reading some reviews at home. You can read reviews about movies, restaurants, books, toys... See what you notice!
Math: We will be wrapping up our unit about skip counting by 2s, 5s, & 10s up to 120! We are noticing many different patterns in the rows and columns within our number charts. We are also working on filling in missing numbers in the different rows and columns.
Reminders: We are reading The World According to Humphrey each afternoon. The children are loving this book! Our classroom hamster, Humphrelina (named by the children!) will go home with families each weekend. I will contact you to let you know when your weekend is getting close. If there is a conflict we can switch with another family. Thank you for your support!
Upcoming Dates: Thursday, March 17th: Eating of the Greens Classroom Celebration! A note will be sent home soon :)
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne
