Hello Families of Room 22,
Announcements:
Foodball & Toy Drive: I have 2 boxes set up in our classroom, one for food donations and 1 for toy
donations (toys must be new and unwrapped). There will be more information to follow this week.
Birthdays: A sweet boy in my class (who will remain unnamed) reminded me that he has a summer birthday and won’t have a chance to celebrate with his classmates. I have decided that those students who have a “summer birthday” can pick a day in January or February to be recognized for their “half-birthday”. Parents may bring in a special treat if they would like to and we will sing and have a short celebration together. Please email me a date you would like your child to celebrate. Thanks!
Learning This Week:
Language & Grammar: We will be learning about verbs.
Spelling: We will be studying words with a silent“e” at the end.
Math: We have begun Topic 4: Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12. This week we will be covering
Lessons 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8.
Writing: We will be reading a few different“Gingerbread” stories and writing about them.
Reading/Daily 5: We will continue to go to “Read to Self”, “Read to Someone”,“Listen to Reading” or “Word Work” and the end of every day.
