This Week
We’re Learning About…
Reading: We are starting our first reading unit learning about what
excellent readers look like and sound like. We are practicing building our
reading stamina by working hard to read our independent reading goal of 25
minutes. We are also spending time learning our routines and procedures during
reading so that we can spend our time learning and helping our brains grow!
This week we’ll take our beginning of the year reading assessments so that our
reading lessons are tailored to our individual needs.
Writing: We are AUTHORS! Our first unit of writing is all about
writing narratives about our own personal stories. This week we are learning
about the routines and procedures of writing workshop and beginning to flex our
writing muscles as we work on our first pieces.
Math: Our first unit is all about numbers and how we can use
numbers to solve everyday problems. We will practice using 100s charts, number
lines, and ten frames to make numbers and solve number problems.
Word Study: We are learning the routines for our new phonics
program this week and reviewing our short vowel sounds from kindergarten.
