In math, we completed a Figure Me Out paper about all the numbers that make us. The kiddos represented this information using number sentences, tally marks, tens frames, or skip counting. These papers are hanging on our t-shirts outside of our classroom.
In reading, we have several book options in our book bags. Today we learned how to fill out a bookmark to show that we are "book worms." The kiddos will be earning a "book worm" for every book that they complete.
If your child has not filled up & brought back his/her Me Bag - please help your child think about things that s/he would like to include in his/her bag & return on Monday. :)
Your child is bringing home a white folder that will be used as a Friday Folder this year. There is a Return Me side and a Keep Me side. There are lots of beginning of the year paperwork that are coming home this week.
- Return Me:
- Friday Folder Checklist: Please always keep the green Friday Folder sheet in the folder. This is what I will use for weekly communication. There is a place for you to sign at the bottom of the front page (under the Work Habits section). All I need are your initials so that I know you saw the checklist & read the comments on the back.
- Pizza Party Donation: We will be having 2 pizza parties as a trimester celebration this year. We are asking for a $5 one time donation for your child's portion of pizza. If you would be willing to provide a drink, healthy side or chip for the pizza party there is also a place to mark that on the form.
- RBE Sportswear Order Form: If you would like to order RBE Sportswear for your family there is a form to fill out & return. The first order is due August 29. There are some really cute shirt options!! I've already ordered mine!! :)
- Keep Me:
- Introduction Letter: I have included a letter that introduces myself to let you know a little more about me. Please do not hesitate to contact me about any questions or concerns that you have.
- Calendars: I have included a hard copy of the CPS School Year Calendar, the Specialist ABCD Calendar, and the RBE Activities Calendar. Also, all of these resources can be found on the schedule tab of our blog
- Student Work Papers: I only have 2 student work papers coming home this week. One of the papers was working on tally charts & bar graphs. The other paper is a Math Wizard test. We will be taking this timed test weekly. There are 50 problems and your child has to solve 46 correct in 3 minutes to move on to the next test. There are 2 addition tests, 2 subtraction tests, and 1 mixed test. If your child passes all 5 tests then they are a Math Wizard. We make a BIG deal of being a Math Wizard by getting your picture taken. Also, for each test that your child passes s/he will receive a Brag Tag! Please review this test with your child and start practicing these facts with your child. Knowing your facts in a "snap" will be so beneficial for your child throughout life,
Almost every week, we will have a VIP of the Week. This person can bring in pictures of things to share about themselves during the week. Be looking for papers coming home when it's your child's week. These are going in number order (just to help me stay organized) so this week is number 1, next week will be number 2, and so on.
Also, we have classroom stuffed animal friends that get to visit people in their homes over the weekend. We draw numbers for who will take home Cleo of Tbone (Clifford's Friends). This week Lexi is taking home Cleo. We can't wait to hear about all the fun adventures that Lexi & Cleo have over the weekend!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
