What we are learning

We are now beginning Unit 9 in Language Arts. Below are the sight words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks.  In addition, we continue to read decodable books and passages. You can encourage us to read the passages we bring home each week. We are also writing sentences about the texts we read.

As a class in math, we will be making teen numbers (ten and some more ones). Individually, the students are working to master their current selected math standard. Ask them about their Nearpod lessons and encourage them to try the challenge activity when they master the math standard.

In science and STEM, we will be comparing how animals are alike and different. And we will be exploring how animals change their environments

What we are learning

We are now beginning Unit 8 in Language Arts. Below are the sight words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks.  In addition, we continue to read decodable books and passages. You can encourage us to read the passages we bring home each week. We are also learning to write sentences about the texts we read.

As a class in math, we will be solving addition and subtraction word problems to 10. Individually, the students are working to master their current selected math standard and pass their math fluency level. Our whole class has passed off their 0’s adding and subtracting facts. Many of our students are working on 1’s and 2’s. And we have several on 3’s and even 4’s. Way to go!

In science and STEM, we will be exploring plants and the things they need to survive. We will grow and care for our own plant. Watch for our plants to come home the Thursday before spring break.

Daylight Savings Time is coming…

daylight-savings-spring-forward-550x0

It has been our experience that daylight savings time can be a challenging transition for our young students. The time change can really affect a child’s attention span, appetite, and overall mood.

There are several things you can do now to help:

  • Gradually set bedtime a little earlier each night (15 min a night works well)
  • Gradually wake them up a little earlier each morning (15 min a morning also)
  • Dim lights and turn off electronics 30-60 minutes before bedtime
  • In the morning, give them light (turn on lights, open blinds, enjoy breakfast outside, go for a sunrise walk)
  • Stick with a bedtime routine (warm bath, read a book together, lights out)
  • Be patient (Understand that time change can change their overall mood; they can be grumpy, easily frustrated, and challenging)
  • Take care of yourself, get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, you will be sluggish, irritable, and cranky too.
