Card Games
This week we've played Memory and Top It in math. The cards we are using are a mix of pictures of base ten blocks, the standard (246) and expanded notation (200+40+6) of numbers. Students have been doing a great job proving the value of picture cards by "tapping them out." Ask your child how!
A-Z Readers
We have read two great A-Z books! First, we read What Lives in that Hole, a nonfiction book about animals that burrow underground. Next we read Grounded to Earth, about Zorb, an alien whose behavior gets him grounded... to Earth.
Ready?
Find our specialist schedule in the OWL book so you're always prepared! Whether you're returning a library book or remembering to wear sneakers on PE day, this schedule will keep you organized.
Set?
When it's time to practice reading a "just right" book in school or at home, you are all set! The back cover of your OWL book keeps these important books within reach.
Earbuds
I would love for each child to have their own earbuds in their manipulatives pouch at all times. Students will use them at the listening center and sometimes when doing work on their Chromebooks.
Snack Bags, Paper Towels
Snack size zipper bags help us organize game cards and manipulatives. Donations of these and paper towels, which help us keep our room germ-free, will be appreciated throughout the year.
