Week of 4/1/24-4/5/24

Hello Room 11 Ohana!

I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing Easter weekend, and had as much fun as we did celebrating together with our classmates last week. March just flew by and April is upon us...wow!  We are ready for a full week of new and exciting adventures!

 

This week, your child will be bringing home a Take Home Reading Folder (T.H.R.F). This folder will contain a book which has been selected for your child at his/her reading level.  Please practice this book nightly and aim for volume, fluency and expression.  On Thursdays, I will have your child read this book to me. If it can be read with volume, fluency and expression, I will move your child on to the next book!  This will give your child another piece of literature to read besides their Wonders reader.  Please keep this T.H.R.F in your backpack and practice nightly. Have fun reading!

 

We had our first Math Speed Drill and LOVED the challenge! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will be doing a quick speed drill worksheet before we do our regular Math lesson.  We will be given 3 minutes to complete the worksheet.  If your child completes the speed drill worksheet with 0 wrong, they will be moved on to the next addition fact for the next speed drill.  (The facts will go in order +1, +2, +3 etc...). The corrected worksheets will be sent home so you can see how your child is doing. You may also want to practice those facts that were missed so it can be passed on the next round.  The purpose of these speed drills is to help your child immediately recognize their addition facts.

 

Our Pizza Hut Book-It is done!  We will recognize the All-Star Readers next week! These are the children who met their reading goal of 15 books per month for all 6 months of the program! Way to go and keep on reading!  It's not too late to turn in your March Book-It log this week!
