Forks and Spoons
I don’t have forks and spoons to provide during lunch and snack time. Please make sure that your student has all the necessary eating utensils packed from home. Students eating school lunch will have utensils provided with their delivered lunch.Show and Tell
Students may bring in one item to show the class or tell about something special, share a joke or riddle… Encourage your student to plan ahead what they would like to say. It helps them be more comfortable in front of the class. ***Nothing alive or dead unless you check with me first please.***Monday- no show and tell

Curriculum Highlights
ReadingStudents will build stamina and muscle memory for Reading to Self and Reading with a Buddy. Our goal is 20 minutes. Students will also begin reading in small instructional groups
Writing
Students will notice the spaces between words and that most words have all lowercase letters. We will practice writing sentences with spaces between each word and we will write words with all lowercase letters.
Social Studies
Students will continue to learn about Growth Mindset; specifically the quality of perseverance. Students will also continue learning about community. Students will recognize that they are members of a family, classroom, and school community.

Math
Students will continue to focus on adding and subtracting to and from 20 and continue practicing skip counting. Students will use many math tools (number line, number chart, rulers, clocks, etc…) to help them recognize the relationship between numbers and groups of numbers as well as begin to investigate our base-ten system. We play math games each day. Currently, they all focus on subitizing and fact fluency.
Conferences
Conferences will be virtual this year. Schedule HERE.Supportive Homework Suggestions
Where, when, and what for reading: Find a good spot for reading when away from school. Plan a time each day for reading. Talk about reading options: traditional chapter or picture book, podcast, library book, recipe book, instruction manual, an ebook... Start the good habit of having your student read or listen to reading each day. 20-30 minutes is perfect. If that is too much, start with 5 and work up to 30.Math: Toss a ball back and forth with your student and count by 2s, 5s, 10s, as high as they can go. Can they make it to 200? Try starting from 1,000. Try counting by 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s. Still too easy? Go backward :) I noticed that this is a struggle with many students. Please consider practicing with your student.
Computer: use IXL and Guided Readers
Prescribed homework will begin this week. It will come home on Monday and is expected to be returned on Friday.
