PANDA NEWS:

I hope everyone enjoyed the vacation last week.  We are back in the swing of school.    Thank you to all who came out and showed your support for the school Friday night.  

 

Language Arts:  

 

The students found we in the sight word book.  We also practiced all our sight words this week.  The more sight words they recognize in their reading the less work they will have to do as a reader.  It is a lot like learning your math facts in math.  We have begun an introduction to procedural writing "How To's".  The have started to reads some "How To's" and brainstorm things they could write about.   We looked at the special characteristics of "How To's".  They found some have glossaries for important words.  

 

Math:

 

The Pandas practiced math facts this week using dice games and unifix cubes.  How is nightly math fact practice going?  I will not send any flash cards home this week but please continue to practice all of the +1.  They will get a Homelink in addition to the math facts.  Every two weeks your Panda will get more flashcards to work on to master.
