Weekly Classroom Report for Oct 13th -16th

Posted: October 13, 2015

 Picture retakes are this Thursday. If your child wants to have their pictures retaken please send in a note saying so. Thanks!    Our Library time is on Friday. So please bring back your book on Thursday so that you will not forget it at home. You can only get out a book if last weeks book comes back.   This week we have two math sheets. One is on number lines and the other one is on the 100th chart. Also we have a writing sheet to do with fall. It is very important that we start with a capital letter and end with proper punctuation. Again remember to stay on topic as well.  Finally we have our 10 spelling words and our Borrow a Book which needs to be read each night and recorded on the yellow sheet.  Again this week we will be Skyping with our pen pals from Texas. We will do this each week on Thursdays.  We look at such things as our weather so we can see the difference in temperatures and we also let them know what is happening at our school for the week as well. It is a lot of fun for sure!!!  This week we might get out to plant our tulips and that will be fun to share with them as well.   This week in math we will continue to work on counting in a variety of ways. We now know how to count by 1's, 2's 5's and 10's.  We will also be learning how to count by twos starting with an odd number and counting by 10's starting at any number.  For example counting by 10's starting at 4 looks and sounds like this:  4  14  24  34 44 54  64  74  84  94  104.  We also will continue to count using numberline and our 100th charts.  Finally we will learn the new concept of odd and even numbers.  Odd numbers end with the one's digit being a 1  3   5  7  9   and the even digits in the one's place end in numbers like:  0  2  4  6  8 . Video announcements are on the main page of our school's web page and the Primary Corner (K-2) announcements are posted on Wednesdays for all to watch.  This week it will be two students from our room.   Well we sure had a lot to share this week. Tune in again next week to see what is going on in our room.
