A huge thanks for everyone who was able to rearrange schedules to make it to our Portfolio Walk tonight. I know that the kids were very excited to show off their learning.
Due to road conditions Portfolio Conferences are postponed until next Thursday. I will assume that the time you chose for today will work for next week. If you need your time changed please let me know. Don't forget that tomorrow night is portfolio conferences! If by chance you did not receive your scheduled time (it went in mailboxes yesterday) please let me know. I was able to fit everyone in during their preferred time! See you tomorrow! I can't believe that it is the middle of November!! We had some pretty exciting news in our classroom today. Our classroom Chromebook arrived. We got to test it out at center time. I am looking forward to having it permanently in our room! In reading we have introduced two strategies to use so far. The first is "Lips the Fish" and that strategy is to get your lips ready to sound out the letter. The second strategy is "Eagle Eyes" and that strategy is to use your eyes to find clues in the pictures. In writing the class is coming along with their ability to sound out words. Our newest strategy is to underline a word that we are having lots of trouble with and move on. After we are done then we can ask a friend or teacher. We will continue with tricky words next week. In math we have finished representing numbers to 10. We have been exploring Base 10 and representing numbers to 50. In social we have started to examine the different groups that we belong to. We defined a group as people who get together to do/share the same thing. The class told me that you want to be a part of a group as a way to make new friends and not feel sad. The first group we are looking at is our family. In art we learned about Piet Mondrian and are working on recreating his art. Make sure to look for them at Portfolio Conferences! In case you have not heard Wolf Creek schools are closed tomorrow (MONDAY) due to road conditions. Stay warm and drive safely. See you Tuesday! Our two school fundraisers started today! We have the Cutie Pie Fundraiser and our Magazine Fundraiser. Please see information and order forms in your child's black bag!
