September 26-30

Reading
We are reading "It's Okay to be Different" by Todd Parr this week. We will talk about what makes us special and different and also how we are the same. This ties in nicely with our math vocabulary same and different as well.

Math
We will be reviewing numbers 3-5 this week and discussing attributes that are the same/different as well as numbers that are the same/different.

Writing
Students will be introduced to the writer's workshop model this week. They will be given time to write freely each day (Mon-Wed) while we work on building up our stamina like we have for read to self.

Phonics
We will introduce/review letters Aa and Pp this week.

Science
Five senses

Social Studies
We will be doing lessons out of our Second Step program which focus on feelings.

Check out the volunteer sign-up sheet that I sent to you and think about a time you would like to come and help in the classroom. I will expand the dates sometime this week to give more options.

Friday is the end of September. Students ClassDojo points will be checked on Thursday. If your child has 35+ points by Thursday they will receive a coupon to bring show and tell on Friday, September 30th. Please make sure the show-and-tell is a reasonable size and manageable for a classroom of 29 setting. Thanks. As always, email or ClassDojo message me with questions.
