Mrs. Lawson's Class News

This week was really fast. The students continue to review the guidelines and rules. They were very hard workers this week. We had fun incorporating math and reading with our snowman and mitten themes. I hope they told you the mitten story as they showed you the animals that climbed inside. We did a lot of addition activities this week. Next week we will concentrate on polar animals (penguin and polar bear). We will be looking at nonfiction text to research about these animals. We will be working in math with tally marks and tens frames. We will also be doing addition and subtraction. I reading we will continue to sound out CVC words and rhyming. In writing we will use our 4 square to produce another writing piece. Report cards went home today. If you would like to meet, please fill out the attached sheet and I will contact you to make an appointment. We will be MAP testing on Tuesday and Friday mornings next week. Make sure your child gets rest and eats a good breakfast so he/she can do their best on the test. ***Reading Folders and Books will come home on Monday. I have changed the direction sheets. Please review your new homework requirements. I have added a Sight Word Booklet to some folders and others have a set of cards in the tile pocket to review. These new plans are very specific to your child’s reading needs. I am hoping to challenge the students as we move into the next semester. **Please remember to dress your child appropriately in the upcoming cool months. Put their initials in all coat labels.
