Small groups this week!

Sunday, October 6, 2019

This week we began our small group instruction in reading and math.  Our class has been doing so well staying focused during Daily 5 time that they were ready to be independent while I worked with small groups of students.  This is my favorite part of the day.  This is when we really get to focus in on skills that are just right for your child.  Groups are flexible and can change depending on what skills each student needs.  This week the different literacy groups focused on letter ID, letter sounds, reading 3 letter words and rhyming.  


Next week we will be going on our field trip to Peach Tree Farm on Thursday.  Most of our students are bringing their lunch.  When you pack your child's lunch please put it in a large Ziploc bag with their name on the outside.  Please make sure that all the things in the bag can be thrown away.  This makes it very easy for us to tackle lunch away from school.  Thank you to all that have volunteered to help!  Volunteers please check your emails for more information about our trip.  

Thank you everyone that helped supply our classroom with magazines, snacks and play dough!  The kids were so excited about the addition of the play dough.  Lots of great things were made this week.  :)
