Big Universe
On Friday of last week, your child should have come home with a letter introducing Big Universe. This year, our school will be using this online literacy program to enhance student reading skills. Each student has their own logon ID and will be able to access this program at home or at school. This is a new program to CCE that we are excited to have. (This was inserted into a sleeve in your child’s Daily folder.)
Field Trip
We sent home a form on Friday asking you to let us know if your child would like to order a bagged lunch for our field trip on October 24th. If so, we need to know asap as we need to give the cafeteria manager our numbers in the next day or two. More information will be sent home regarding the field trip early this week.
Wednesday
CCE will be wearing orange in memory and celebration of Darien’s life.
What Are We Learning?
This week, two of the books we will be reading to integrate our learning goals will be: Otis by Loren Long and The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant.
Math – (1.NBT.3a) I can compare two numbers by knowing the amount of tens and ones in each number.
ELA – (1.RL.1a) I can answer questions about details in a story.
(1.Rl.2b) I can retell key details of a text.
(1.RF.2c) I can say a sound in each word.
(1.W.3c) I can write sequencing words to show the order of events.
Science – (1.E.2.1) I can list the properties of rocks, minerals, soil and water. I can explain how water, rocks and minerals are Earth materials.
Social Studies – (1.C&G.1.2) I can classify the roles of authority figures in the home, school and community (teacher, principal, parents, mayor, park rangers, game wardens, etc.).
Reading Homework
This week, your child will have required reading homework along with the optional homework choice tic tac toe board. There will be a letter that goes along with the reading that will explain the required homework in more detail. We are dividing the students up into different days, so your child may not come home with a book until Thursday. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Conferences
If you have not had a chance to sign up for a conference, please do so. It can be a telephone conference or in person at CCE. I would like to go over how your child did on our recent reading and math assessments and what the expectations are for the year.
