10/5-10/9

Happy October!

I have been really enjoying this school year. It has been fun to get to know them in academics but also their personalities. 

This week I will be sending you an invite to our class Seesaw if you didn't get a chance to sign up yet. It is fun to be able to see little videos they post or activities that we complete. You will be notified when they add something new. You are also able to comment on their work.

Upcoming Events:

10/16: Book Orders Due, you can order online at https://clubs.scholastic.com/home our class code is QJMYM

10/29: No School

10/30: No School


Math:
Last week we spent a lot of our time learning story problems identified as comparison problems. These types of problems can be confusing because they use words like fewer than. We are working to help students read the math problem, stop and ask, “What do I know? What’s important? What type of problem is this? How will I solve this?” This week we will continue with different types of story problems and look to see if we have too much information, not enough information, and what type of problem it is.

Reading:
Last week we ended our unit with a celebration. We logged onto our Google Classroom with Mrs. Karls’ class and shared a book recommendation with each other. The students loved it! 

As we started our new unit on Word Solving we made a chart to remember all the strategies we learned in 1st grade. When your student is reading with you at home, let them be the boss of their reading: stopping at a tricky word and using 1 or more strategies to solve the word.
