Weekly Update #12

What a great Veteran's Day mass today! It was once again, a great expereince for our students and a wonderful way to honor the Veteran's in our SJCA family!

Here's what else we are working on this week -

Academics -
  • Reading -  I will be re-assessing the kids to get updated reading levels and comprehension scores for everyone. We will continue with our normal Daily 5 routine with I complete the assessments. The assessments will take the place of guided reading this week and possibly next week.
  • Math - Continuing with Unit 3 - exploring unknown numbers or partners.
  • Language Arts - Spelling studying the sounds of sp,sk,sm. We are continuing our work with sentence writing. Our writing lesson will focus on how to create a "mighty middle" in our writings.  Continued practice of language skills using our Daily Language Review packets.
  • Social Studies - We'll be learning about Veteran's Day. We will also continue with acceptance in our character development study.
  • Religion - learning about ways Jesus shared God's love. (continued)
  • Technology - working on developing keyboarding/typing skills. We will use Word to type words and sentences. IXL math practice.
  • Homework - November reading log/Book-it form, spelling practice, math packet, continued high frequency word list practice (up to list 1D) & practice reading. IXL practice - we could be spending lots more time using this great resource! If your child has not already practice skills B.1 & B.2 (in addition, grade 1) that would be a great place to start!
