Important Reminders:
-Please Remember to bring a snack and water bottle daily for your scholar.
- It does tend to get a bit chilly in the classrooms and outside and your scholar might want a sweater so just in case you may pack a Great Hearts Western Hills sweater or cardigan in their backpack to have. During recess time they can wear a non-Great Hearts jacket.
- Every Tuesday we will send home the scholar's yellow folder please sign and return anything that needs to be returned and signed and remove the rest to keep at home
-Please discuss with your scholars to not talk during instruction time and to respect their teachers time of teaching.
- Your scholar needs to bring an independent reading book to school every day to use during Upper school dismissal. This is especially important if your scholar is picked up at Upper School because the expectation in the MPR is that scholars read silently.
- We will be sending home book bags and checking the scholar's comprehension and understanding of their book so please go over it with them every night.
-If you are able to bring snacks for your class for scholars who are not able to bring one that would be extremely helpful! Please make sure it is in individual packaging.
- Please go over playground etiquette with your scholar and remind them to please keep their hand to themselves and to not push and shove other scholars.
Week at a Glance:
Spalding: Review phonograms 1-70 will be reinforced with daily OPR/WPR and applied through analysis of daily spelling instruction. An emphasis on base words continues as the teacher helps children discover the meaning transferred to the derivatives as endings are added and prefixes introduced.
Math: Students demonstrate mastery of Unit 8 concepts and begin to add and subtract within 20, write fact families, count on to add ones to numbers within 100, use addition facts within 20 to add numbers within 100, make tens and add numbers within 100, and add ones to a 2-digit numbers without renaming
Literature: “If the Moon Came from Heaven” by Christina Rosetti should rejuvenate a sense of wonder in the class, as they imagine all the things that the moon looks down on. Discussion should center around the beauty and delight in the world, and how many more wonderful things we have to learn about.
My Father’s Dragon chapters 2 and 3. In chapter 2 we hear more about Wild Island, its inhabitants, and the titular dragon. In chapter 3 Elmer manages to survive the journey and leave the ship unscathed. He arrives at a new place—Tangerina, and eats its fruit. But he doesn’t stay there for long.
