Overall, I think our class has learned something special this week! We need to slow down & remember what our expectations are. I think we are still very much in "learing & training" mode right now, but I am confident that soon we will run like a well oiled machine!
As this machine continues to move forward, students will be receiving more steady homework next week. Each night they will have reading for 20 minutes, one math page, and work on spelling activities. The spelling activities are still being learned though, so if students need help at the end of the day I will offer a short period of time to explain it to them. That way they can work on part of it here and finish it at home. This will hopefully help build more confidence in their homework abiliities!
Next week we are moving on to more reading skills and will be focusing on non-fiction text features. We will use non-fiction texts to continue to explore our CAFE skills of: check for understanding, cross check, back up & re-read, ask questions, choose good fit books, and tune into interesting words. Ask your students if they use these each time they read? Let's help hold them accountable for what they do each night!
Please don't forget to send in your money for our National Geographic for Kids subscription. The magazines should be coming in soon and we would like to make the first payment soon. Each child costs about $4.69, thanks so much!
Last, but not least, I apologize for the technical difficulties we are having with our class website. Some things are taking longer than expected to clear out from last year, while others just won't post at all. So keep checking it out and we will do our best to get it completely up & running and up to date! Thank you so much for your patience!
