It was fun to see folks at the Glencoe Auction Saturday night. What a great way to celebrate our wonderful community. I can't tell you how many people came up to me to say how much they loved our class' art project. Thank you to Satchel's mom for taking this on and lending us your time and talent. In math we are continuing to work with facts to 20 identifying different strategies to add and subtract. Some of the strategies include: doubles, doubles +/- 1, Add 10, Add 9 and make 10. We were also working with the commutative property through the use of Double Flap cards. This week will be focused on story problems that involve joining, separating and comparing amounts. We have begun our newest unit of study in ready titled, Readers Have Big Jobs To Do: Fluency, Phonics and Comprehension. I am looking forward to all this includes. We started this week with reminding students to do a "triple-check" when they are figuring out tricky words. We sorted our strategies into three groups, matching them with the questions readers ask themselves when they self-monitor: Does it Look Right? Does it Sound Right? and Does it Make Sense?. Students identified one strategy that they use independently and will be selecting one to work on. Setting goals is such a valuable skill! Ask your child what their current reading goal is.
