Week 4

 Week 4: September 26-30


Academic Updates

Most of our early assessments are complete and we are excited to dig in to our curriculum and enjoy some exciting learning. This week we will begin our study of the digraphs sh and ch. Each day we will study words with these sounds in a slightly different way. By Friday students should be able to recognize the sound orally and write the corresponding letters. We will continue to practice finding the main idea in books we read together. In math we will continue collecting and interpreting data. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to send in apples.  The children will appreciate it, as do we!

Conferences

In the coming days you will receive an email from your child’s teacher with a link to a Sign Up Genius.  Please choose a conference date and time that works for you.  Sign Up Genius will send you a reminder before your scheduled time. Conferences are our chance to meet together to discuss your child’s progress in school. We find that this time together is invaluable in supporting each child.
