NEWS
What an excellent full week of school
we have had. We have spent much of
our time getting to know one another!
We began learning the Daily 5. The
Daily 5 is the classroom structure that
we will be following during our
reading group time daily!!! We are
working on building our stamina to be
good readers. We will practice finding
good fit books next week. We will also
practice how to read with a partner!
Specials next week:
Monday: Art
Tuesday: Computers/Counseling
Wednesday: Music/PE
Thursday: Library/Computers

Writing
This week we read a book called
How I Spent My Summer
Vacation. A little boy in this
story writes a report about his
summer vacation. We learn that
this little boy has quite an
imagination. We wrote our own
stories about summer and we
added make believe details. We
will share these with the class next
week to see if our friends can
guess which parts are real and
which parts are make believe.

This week we used our Social Studies time to learn
more of our PBS (Positive Behavior Support)
Lessons. The students have learned the acronym
P.A.W.S to help them remember how to behave at
school. Ask your child to tell you what P.A.W.S
stands for!!!
P =Power of respect
A= And Responsibility
W= With cooperation
S= and Safe Behavior
Math
This week and next we are focusing on
learning how to train our brains to think
about math in ways we have never thought
of before. We are creating Habits of
Interaction and Habits of Mind. We have 10
lessons and posters that we learn and
practice so that we will be ready to start
math groups after next week!
