Happy New Year! Welcome back!

 Hope everyone loved their Nutcracker and
reindeer painting!



This week: Thursday and Friday

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday Break! I can't wait to see everyone and hear about each student's holiday!

Morning Meeting Schedule: Each student will have a time where they can share.  We will start with a greeting and then students will have two minutes to tell a story, show or talk about something they would like to bring to share with the class.  They will ask for three questions or comments.  If they are bringing in an item to share, it must fit in their backpack.
Here is our schedule:

I can't wait to hear about everyones Holiday Break!

Our lesson from SecondStep (Social and Emotional Learning): We will be talking about Emotional Management

Spelling Words - 
No spelling words this week!

Reading: Unit 5 - Skill: Connections & Inferencing:
We will continue working on Inferencing. The unit will include students making inferences and connections. Making an inference means figuring out something that is not stated directly in a text. An inference is based on one or two clues in the text. Authors do not always tell readers everything, but they include clues that readers can put together for themselves.  Making inferences helps readers better understand the ideas in a text.

The Daily Five in Reading:
*Read to Self:  Read! Read! Read!
*Read to Someone: Reading to someone
*Listen to Reading: Working on RazKids
*Work on Writing: Writing a narrative about their Holiday Break
*Word Work - we will be working on sight words and working on fluency with reading passages

In Math:
We will be starting Unit 6 - Time.  Look for clocks in . your home.  You might search for watches, alarm clocks, digital clocks and clocks on appliances.  Talk about time throughout your family's day.  For example, you can point to the clock during breakfast and say, "We usually eat breakfast at this time."  Encourage your child to estimate the length of time he or she spends on specific activities like brushing teeth, sleeping, or traveling to school.  Your child will first learn to tell time to the hour and then show time to 5 minutes and then to the minute.

Science: We will be finishing up our unit on Solids and Liquids.
