This week's happenings and other November information

Good evening parents and guardians,

Another month has come and gone, time sure is flying by. I hope your kiddos are learning a lot and eager to learn some more. A big thank you to those parents that have been donating items to the class, or donating their time at school, it is truly appreciated.

Lets begin with this week's happening:

Language Art:

  • Story of week: "Bear Snores On"
  • Content Knowledge: Bears in Winter
  • Phonemic Awareness: Initial /k/
  • Phonics: /k/ Spelled Cc
  • Comprehension Skill: Realism and Fantasy (please speak with your children about this when possible)
  • Conventions: Adjectives for Sizes
  • Handwriting: C and c
  • Listening and Speaking: Listen for Setting
  • Sight Words aka High Frequency Words: we, my like (I apologize for not writing them on the front cover of the homework packets this week)
Math:
  • Numbers 1-10
  • Filling in missing numbers
  • Organizing numbers in order
Science:

In order to stretch out our Science and Social Studies Curriculum Units to cover the entire school year, from time to time we will be able to choose any topic we would like for our class. This week we will be learning about the 4 seasons of the year. I thought it would go great with the story we are focusing on this week. Today the kiddos got an introduction to the seasons, so far the students seem really interested which made me really happy. 

Parent Conferences:
     Today I sent home a form with your child regarding parent conferences. Please fill it out and return it to me as soon as possible. I will be scheduling my conferences on a first come first serve basis.

-Sorry for the small picture, more information will be going soon as soon as possible but I wanted to let everyone know about this as soon as I could because this is a great thing REACH is doing.
My class will be in charge of bringing in boxes of baking goods (cake mixes, brownies, pie makings).
A huge, huge, HUGE thank you in advance for any donated your family may be able to contribute. I/m sure the recipients of the baskets will be beyond thankful and great full as well. Lets work together to make some families Thanksgiving day that much better.

If you have any questions regarding this week's happening or any of the events scheduled to go on this month please feel free to email me or catch me at REACH.

Have a great evening everyone, 
Miss. Maciel


PS. One quick note regarding students in Miss. Lopez's soccer team. On one of her math pages, the one with the apples, it says to fill in the missing numbers. She requested the students simply write the numbers in starting at 1. Thank you :)
