Thank you for returning all of the paper work! We had a great first week and I am looking forward to another one.


In Language Arts, we will be adding to our reading strategies… The new strategies for this week will be Cross Checking for Accuracy. When we come upon a word that we are not sure of, after we attempt to sound it out, we ask ourselves, (1) Does is look right? (2) Does it sound right? (3) Does it make sense? Another strategy…Find, read and use interesting words to Expand our Vocabulary. Just like it states, we are looking for words that are new to read and write so that we can expand our vocabulary.


We will be building our stamina for group work. By the end of the week we will be up to reading 7 minutes with a partner or to ourselves. Building our writing stamina will be up to 13 minutes.


For Math, we will explore different manipulatives. We are learning how to use them and also working on our stamina to build the independent and group work time.

With your permission, your child may bring in books from home to read in class. These will be added to their “Book Piles” which the children use in our Daily 5 Groups, Read to Self and Read to Someone
Homework is to read any material with your child, at least once a day.

Please sign and date the page on the back of the Friday Folder, thank you!

I hope you have a delightful week!

Monday will be Day 2 > Library
