Thursday May 19, 2016

Highlights:

We had a discussion about our school’s tower garden.  The tomato and lettuce plants are growing so quickly! Hopefully we can see a tomato before the end of June




The volunteer tea was a hit! We did an amazing job singing our volunteer song.


Homework:
Literacy M.A.P. – No homework for the weekend

Tell and Show: Next week is Very, Violet “ V”

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs

Home Reading – Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night.  Don’t forget to engage your child by talking to them about the text.  Being a good reader is more than just knowing the words!!  Good readers will: make connections, ask and answer questions, visualize the text, make inferences and transform their thinking.

Alternatives to Traditional Reading – Part of being a good reader is understanding how to tell a story!  Sometimes listening to a good book is just as educational as reading a good book. Please check out the links below for alternatives for those days where you’d like to a change of pace.
