Hello Families,
Here is the Room 17 News for next week:
Home Reading Program:
This Monday is a holiday so we will see you on Tuesday for centers and to celebrate Abe Lincoln's birthday. We will be creating a log cabin in honor of Abe Lincoln and will be playing a game with pennies. **Centers are cancelled on Thursday due to a teacher training on Reader's Workshop.
We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Friday at 12:30 with a lot of fun activities planned by our fabulous room mom, Sarah Cowen. When you and your child are working on Valentine cards, please leave the front of the envelope blank. Please have them sign their name on the card. Also, please make sure there is a card for every child. :)
Word wall words: they, of
Math: We will continue working on addition and subtraction. I am so impressed with the different strategies students have been able to use to solve word problems. We will also begin talking about money.
We will be starting our home reading program homework for Kindergarten. These books will be coming home on Tuesday, February 11. Please read the book and sign the envelope when your child can read it fluently without having to stop and sound out. Signing the outside envelope tells me that you are ready for the next book. Some of the books coming home can seem too hard but you can slow down and only do a few pages a day. Please talk about the book and have them tell you about characters and what is happening in the story. When your child gets to the Phonics Library books (which are the copied paper books), please do not keep, draw or write on them. We use them every year and need to keep them in good shape.
I have a paper that gives you a little info. on how to help your child read. Again, once your child is fluently reading the book, send it back to get a new book. Your child's reading ability will grow immensely if your child reads daily with these books.
