Writing time! Mystery Reader Fun!
This week's news:
~We have been working A LOT on growth mindset thinking and talking... here are some good talking points for home!
~Word wall at home-I love the idea of making a word wall at home!! The goal is for all high frequency words/sight words can be read and spelled by the end of the year. With that being said, the word wall is to be used as a resource. Since most words in the wall are not "rule followers" and therefore cannot be sounded out, we do want to use the wall as a resource to help us spell and/or check our spelling. At this time students are encouraged to use the word wall to help them and check their work. These words can be find in each weekly newsletter and are also on the list I passed out at Back to School Night.
~Weekend Work: Throughout the week we have work that we start and sometimes do not
get finished in an allotted time. When this happens it gets put in the blue
work folder in the student’s desk. Throughout each day students have
opportunities to work on items in their blue work folders. This week we have
really been working on Habit 2- Begin with the End. Our goal was for all of our
work to be complete by the end of this week. And for those who had work that
wasn’t finished the plan was for it to be completed over the weekend. We will
continue to work on time management in the classroom and I am sure this will
not be a weekly event of needing to bring work home. If your child brought home weekend work last Friday please know we are working hard to make it a goal that this week there will not be any work to bring home on Friday!
~Just a reminder that Top Secret folders were due Friday, September 15th ! I do not want to pass them out until each student has one. Let me know if you have any questions.
