Snow Days!

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra snowy day off! 

This week in reading we will be reviewing reading skills from Themes 1-3 and begin Theme Test 3.   I will also be introducing literature circles.  We will have literature circles during the first 15 minutes of center time each day.  This will be a great addition to our reading schedule.

Sitton Spelling has been going really well.   This week, we will begin spelling dictation tests.  The dictation test will be on the back of the Cloze Word Story test.  The dictation test will be scored separately.  If you have any questions on your child's score, please let me know.

In math, students are learning how to tell time to the hour and how to label a clock face.  We discussed digital times as well.  Understanding even and odd numbers has been confusing for some students.  I reminded students that all even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, & 8 while odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, & 9.  Each week, I am impressed by the aweseome math abilities of each student.  How exciting!

Enjoy the snow and stay warm!
