We had a great first week! I enjoyed getting to know your kids, and I'm excited to see all we can accomplish this year! I was surprised and glad to see how all the kids were interacting with each other on Friday. We had only been together for a day and all the students already felt comfortable with each other! I work hard on creating a great classroom environment, and already this class is getting along great and making sure to include everyone! Parents- if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. My email is kholyoak@cces.washk12.org- I check my email frequently and will respond within a day or two! Here is our overview for next week.
Writing: We will be writing about the first week of school. I will keep these and show you at our SEP conferences on either Aug. 31st or Sept. 2nd, whenever I meet with you. We will also be putting a book together of our school friends by finding out each classmate's likes and dislikes.
Math: Our school district uses the program Growing with Mathematics. We will be starting that on Monday. First we are focusing on reviewing number and time concepts.
This week's math focus:
* Count, read, and write to 100
* Write numerals to 99 and connect them to the quantities they represent
* Represent two-digit numbers as groups of ten and "leftover" ones
* Understand whole numbers
* Compare two numbers (up to 99) and say which is greater
Communication: We will be interviewing each other.
Spelling: This week we are taking the Spelling Inventory to assess their level for spelling sorts. Save the Date- Wednesday, September 9th for Literacy Night. This is when parents will learn how to do the spelling sorts for homework.
Language Arts: We will begin learning about nouns.
