Weekly Update
October 10, 2021
Word Work: This week your child will be learning words that have the long-a digraph pattern. This rule includes words like brain, weight, tray, and whey. The words can be found on Spelling City to practice. Please remember to use the list that comes home to practice reading words, talk about the word’s meaning, and look for common patterns in the way the words are spelled. Please do not feel your child should be able to spell all the words on this list.
Math Progress: Over the last few weeks we have been working on adding and subtracting within 50. Some of the problems include finding missing addends, minuends, and adding double digits. We have discussed the numerous ways to show our work, including decomposing numbers, drawing diagrams, using tools like base 10 blocks and Unifix cubes. Finally we have been playing a game where cards are laid out and students find 3 out of 5 to get closest to 20 and 4 out of 7 to get closest to 50. This week we will start with collecting and analyzing data.
Guest Teacher Mr. Reimers: Please note that this is the week of my step-daughters wedding so Mr. Reimers will be with the students part of Wednesday as well as Thursday and Friday. I have left him very complete plans and he knows to text me with any questions so that the class learning does not skip a beat. I look forward to meeting with you next week on the 19, 20, and 21st during your scheduled conference.
Conferences: Speaking of conferences please remember that our time together will be 20 minutes. If we need more time, I am also happy to schedule another time with you. If you have requested a virtual conference, I will email you a link on the morning of your conference day. If you do not remember what type of conference you requested you may check the schedule here. Please click in at your scheduled time. I look forward to meeting with everyone next week.
