Have them write their own story with their own characters!

Supplies: We are in need of some more disinfecting wipes for the classroom. If you are able please donate some! 

Weather: Cold weather has arrived! Please be mindful of what your students is wearing and bringing for coats, scarfs, mittens, etc. Please label and please teach your student how to put these things on and where to store them once inside. Always assume we will have outdoor recess so your student isn't caught out in the cold without a coat.

Next week:

Phonics: Our class has done awesome with our digraphs (sh, th, ch, ck, wh)! We will be moving to trigraphs which are three letters that make one sound. This is -tch and -dge. These trigraphs follow a short vowel sound in words, like batch, or judge.

New Heart words: your, can, said, there, down

Comprehension: We will be identifying character's problems and trying to find the solution to those problems as we read. Not every character is successful at solving their own problem but may need help from supporting characters. To support your student at home you can ask your student about the character. Ask about what they want or need throughout the story and then see if they can identify the solution.

Writing: We are continuing with narratives! I am hoping to send the class one home tomorrow!

Math: Students have a good basic understanding of place value so now we will move into comparing and adding numbers. Our next unit uses a lot of dominoes as manipulatives. If you have dominoes at home you can add each side of the dominoes together, flip two over and compare, or just play regular dominoes. All are great ways to get your student familiar with dealing with numbers.

Social Studies: We are continuing with our families and diversity unit. We will be looking at more in depth into our community around us.
