1. Star Students Math 11/6-11/10 Literacy Calendar Birthdays 11/9 - Gaby
We completed our Jolly Phonics study of letter sounds, but we will still practice them at school. Please continue to practice them at home daily. Our book of the week is “Tree House” and our sight word is “up”.
We will continue to practice proper letter formation in our “Handwriting Without Tears” book. At home, please encourage your child to write their name with only the first letter capitalized. We will be working on this at school.
In Reading Workshop, we will be looking at reading strategies that the students can use when they are reading. The first one is “Eagle Eye”, where students practice using picture clues to figure out an unknown word. The next reading strategy is “Lips the Fish”, where students look at the first letter of a word and get their mouths ready to make that sound. I model them with our book of the week, and then students practice during independent reading and buddy reading.
In Writing Workshop, we will continue to write about what we know and care about. Students will also work on labeling their drawings to show more details.

Math
This week students will finish Module 4. They will continue work from last week where they are representing numbers 0-10 with fingers, numerals and number words. Last week we practiced several strategies to determine which number word matched which numeral. We will continue to practice that this week.
We will also continue work with 5 and 10 frames.
