Week 2, Term 1
I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Wasn't the cricket exciting! I've spent the weekend marking the children's spelling and basic facts tests and have been pleasantly surprised at how well they have done!
This week we will start working in our books, so please get your child's stationery to school as soon as possible. We will continue swimming this week and hopefully begin our swimming lessons. We spent last week assessing the children. We will be swimming with Room 13 so we can combine our time to give an hour to get through our swimming groups. Mrs Christey, Mrs Cribb and I will be cross grouping our classes to enable us to better target the children's needs.
Please send the permission slips for your child's work and photo to appear on the blog back to school as soon as possible. Don't forget the permission form for the trip to the Wetlands too.
This week
Reading - We will work on our Dr Seuss unit by reading as many Dr Seuss books as we can find and completing activities on selected books. While the children work on this independently I will be quickly assessing their reading in order to start guided reading next week. These groups will be temporary groups until our formal reading testing occurs in early March.
Maths - We will continue our Statistics unit on graphing. This week the children will be given an area to study from our class. They will gather data, create a tally chart, graph their data and interpret their results.
Writing - This week in writing we will write the traditional holiday recount in a less conventional way. We will be focussing on having a strong lead to engage our reading immediately in our story. These stories will be published by combining an art activity.
Topic - We will continue getting to know each other and discovering new things about ourselves.
Please do not hesitate to come in to see me for a chat. It's important that we work as a team.
