I will be at a training this Friday, November 21st. My sub will be Mr. Moylan. He is familiar with Llewellyn as he has subbed throughout the building.
Next week is a short week. There is no school on Thursday, Nov. 27 or Friday, Nov. 28.
In reading, we are learning new strategies that will help us when we come to words that we don't know. We are practicing sounding them out, blending sounds, using the picture, and looking at beginning and ending sounds. When you are reading at home with your child, help them with these strategies rather than simply telling them the word. This will help foster their independence when they are reading to self in our classroom and help them become better readers.
In writing, we have been working on using several different strategies including: stretching out our words, using the word wall, using our alphabet charts, and using the magic line when we get stuck. I would like to see students beginning to use upper case letters at the beginning of their sentences consistently and putting periods at the ends of their sentences. I am also encouraging them to write with mostly lower case letters.
