Calling on Community Helpers!

 

 

Phonemic Awareness:  We still continue to practice isolating initial sounds in words.  We are also always going back for review and extra support of areas that have already been covered.  Miss Tusa, our speech and language teacher, was in for a lesson on rhyming this past week.

Word Study: New sight words are:  “said” and “that ”.  Our letter of the week was Ii.  Short Ii makes the sound that you hear at the beginning of the words iguana and igloo.  We’ve practiced handwriting for the letter Ii and made Indian headbands with Miss S! 

Reading: We have been working very hard on print awareness and print concepts.  We continue to practice tracking the words on a page from left to right (as someone else is reading them).  This helps us to understand the relationship between spoken words and the print on a page. 

Math:  Math lessons this week included:  logical reasoning and ordinal numbers.  We will be testing chapter 5 before the Thanksgiving break.

Themes: Thank you to all of the community helpers that came into our classroom this past week to share about their careers.

THANK YOU:

Mr. Esser-who fits people for wheelchairs

Mrs. Welcome-middle school science teacher

Sergeant Thompson-Albany County Sheriffs

Gregeory Darlington-Chief of Police, Ravena Coeymans

We have also learned a great deal about turkeys this week.  Did you know they have no feathers on their heads?  And their heads change colors? Ask us more!

 

  A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
-- Henry B. Adams

 Please return signed report card envelopes before the Thanksgiving break.  Thank you to all who attended your child’s parent teacher conference.  I look forward to our next conferences in the beginning of December.

 

 Thank you for all of the donations for Equinox.  The support from Red Mill was overwhelming!

 No newsletter next week.

 We hope you and your family enjoy a truly wonderful Thanksgiving break!
