We had a busy week!
Thanks for your patience with this weeks highlight reel and comments. My sister had a baby on Thursday and we're helping out with my other nephew!
We’re rocking with Daily 5 reading choice and Daily 4 math choices! For reading the kids get to choose what they would like to work on. They can choose, read to self, read to someone, work on writing, word work and listen to reading with the iPads.
From here your child can login using their
school ID and Password. They have used them both in media and also in our
classroom. At the beginning of the year,
I sent this information home. If your
child cannot remember their login and you would like me to resend it, send me
an email and I can get that information to you.
In class we use QR codes to help us log in. I can send those home as well. Just let me know!
For math, we rotate through all the
choices. Math by myself, math with
technology and math with a partner. Within
each round the kids can choose from a menu of choices. One of the choices is ST math. You can access ST math at home too! Right now we are working on learning how to
use the program so there is no homework assigned. Your child can practice the objectives they
have already covered in class. This will
help them remember their password and remember how the program works. You can learn more about it here.
Congrats Friend! We are so proud of you!
We wrote about what we want to be for Halloween! We are working on using our ABC chart to put
our message on paper. We have started
learning about sentences and planning for what we want to say. Many of us have tried out a complete thought
on paper! I’m super impressed!
We've got some Cubs fans! Go Cubs!
Our party was by far the best party I’ve seen as a teacher! Our room parents went above and beyond. Our kids were so happy and almost stunned when they came to the party. It was a fantastic time. Thank you to all who planned, sent things, and came. Have a great long weekend! See you on Tuesday! Have a save and fun Halloween!
