This week we will be reading One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. We will start discussing rhyming words. Some students have already been noticing rhyming words, while others have no clue. This is something that we asses on so we will start working more on it this week and the weeks to come. We will discuss what makes words rhyiming and make lists of rhyming words. We will even use non words, just getting them to notice the sounds is what I am looking for. So, while reading stories at home ask students if they can find or tell you rhyming words.

In reading we will read One Fish Two Fish Red FIsh Blue Fish. We will start with a look through and read the pictures. The kids do a really good job telling the story by reading the pictures and enjoy telling what they think the pictures are saying. We will also do a read through, and read Five Little Fish Poem. This week in reading we will focus more on rhyming words in the story. Students will get to compare the difference in the story and poem as well.  

In math we will continue to work on counting, and numbers, and start focusing more on shapes. Shapes we will be focusing on are squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, and hexagons. We will look at one shape each day and talk about the different parts of each shape (sides, vertices, curved/straight lines). 

The students loved science lab last week and especially enjoyed some of the parent volunteers. Thank you for volunteering. In science lab they got to complete two stations, one with different smells (good/bad). And another one working with liquids and solids and got to make pancakes and eat them! Fun was had by all. With the craziness of testing we were unable to do our apple  experiments so we will try to get it in this Friday.

This week in social studies we will start talking about goods and services and distinguishing the differences of them. We will also look into U.S. coins and Dollars. 

• Students are still doing great on HW. Please keep up the great work. I love seeing the progress and what they complete! I appreciate some of yall dating the pages so I know what goes with what. It is fine to complete more than one day on each page as well.
• Students morning work on Mondays is cutting out and gluing their HW pages in their journals. They all get all the pages and have journals opened to where to glue the pages. I will be checking to make sure everything is in their journals.
• Please continue to put how they are getting home each day in their agendas. It helps out a lot with dismissal. If they are ASP all week you can just write at the top ASP all week. 
• Please write in Agenda if they can get ice cream on Fridays. 
• Please continue on working with your children logging into Reading Eggs and RAZ kids, it will really help them with logging into the computers in computer lab.
