1. Math Star Students Literacy Birthdays 10/2-10/6 Calendar
This week in Jolly Phonics we will learn the letter sounds for z, w, ng, v, & oo/oo . Please continue to practice them at home daily. Our book of the week is “My Friend at School” and our sight word is “my”. We will spend a lot of time discussing our friends here at school. We will continue to practice proper letter formation in our “Handwriting Without Tears” book.
In Reading Workshop, students will be thinking about themselves as readers and how we choose books that interest us.
In Writing Workshop, students will begin our Schoolwide Writing Unit of Study: “How Writers Write”. We will read the book, “Library Mouse” and discuss the author that lives in each of us. During our writing workshop time we will be looking at books through our “writer’s lens”. We will discuss why authors or illustrators chose to write/draw certain things. Then students will have the opportunity to apply those techniques to their own writing.
**Starting this week, your child will be bringing home a “book bag”. Please look for the note coming home
about it.

Math
This week the students will continue to practice writing their numbers They will also be working with a “number track”. This is the word our Math program uses instead of number line. Students will be identifying missing numbers in a sequence. Some key vocabulary terms for this week are: before, after, just before and just after. You can also practice counting backwards with your child. Start at any number between 5 and 10 and see if your child can count back to 1.
