D is for Dodgers!

Hello parents!

First of all, there was a mistake! The ECO station field trip date is Wednesday, November 6th NOT Tuesday November 5th. We apologize for the mistake. If you would like to come, please send a note to your teacher.







We had a busy day learning about the letter /d/ this week!
The students started to blend the sounds together to read words, how exciting!
Please keep working with your children at home.
Next week, we are starting with the letter /s/.

Next week, we will start spelling tests! (for Room.6 and Room.7 only. Room.5 started already)
We will do the spelling test in Fanahi's class during mixing. The students will have two chances to take the test. We will do a practice test on Thursday and if the student does not get a 100%, they will get the spelling test back to study for the night. The result of the spelling test, including the missed words, will be indicated on the weekly STAR report.

This week in mixing...

• In Florita's class, we are continuing with the graphs. We had our apple tasting this week with carmel, honey, and peanut butter. The students voted on their favorite apple and created a class graph during mixing. We started beginning addition by drawing a picture to match the simple addition equation. 

• In Fanahi's class, we focused on the letter /d/ as we worked on blending the sounds to read words. We are continuing with our journals as well as letter books.  

• In Maria's class for this week and next week, we will be learning about parts of a pumpkin. We are having a hands-on experience with the pumpkins. We will be integrating math as we estimate seeds and measuring the length and the with of the pumpkin using a string. 

As always, thank you for your support!

Warmly,
Florita, Fanahi and Maria :)
