Book Character Day
is Friday, Nov. 1 at CAES. Your child
may come dressed as a book character. If
possible, send the book in with your child so that he/she may carry it during
the school parade.
A few notes about Reading Logs and
Steps…if you are wondering why ‘Book’ is written down in your child’s log on
occasion, there are several reasons.
Sometimes we run out of time and I have to log in quickly for the children.
Or, your child may have been out of the room (bathroom, nurse, etc.) and I
wrote it in. Or, it could be a ‘catch up’ Step if your child is behind on Steps
or no reading was done at home the night before.
This
week we will:
- Learn about the letters Jj and Ww – the sound of each and proper letter formation
- Name, spell and read words that begin with /j/ and /w/
- Learn new Power Words want you go and practice old PWs
- Count syllables in 1, 2 or 3 syllable words
- Write our thoughts and ideas down on paper
- Listen to and enjoy stories read aloud
- Make predictions and connections to the books we read aloud
- Identify the title page in a book, the setting, characters and events in stories we read aloud
- Learn about the numbers 1 – 10 and different ways to represent the numbers
- Count by 1s as high as we can and by 10s
