Friday’s Message:
Lots of Sharing
The kids welcomed me back with open arms and lots of hugs. I shared newspaper articles with them about the bone marrow donor and recipient event that I went to with my son.
They shared with me one thing they did while I was gone. Ms. Willis and Ms. Spralding left me notes about what a great class this is!
Star Students
This week the star students are ***Ariel King*** and ***Elizabeth Garcia***
When we return from Spring Break the stars are ***William Boitano*** and
***Yordanos Sisay***
HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK!
There is no “formal” homework assignment over Spring Break. Just continue to read and record in your child’s Reading Log. Your child should be also reading from their “book bag.”
In addition you may want to get a head start and/or do the following activities
*I made flash cards with addition number sentences with sums to 12. An addend
or the sum would be covered ( I used “dot” stickers). Students told the missing number and explained why. Have your child practice this concept.
Then write subtraction sentences and cover a numeral. Have your child use manipulatives/beans to figure out the “covered” numeral. You can also write the equation with a “blank.” Have your child “prove” the answer or explain it.
*When they return, one of the homework assignments will be to make a timeline of his/her life. They will need to find a picture of a special day and/ or event for each year of his/her life. Over the Spring break you may want to help your child find the pictures they might want to use. They will need to dislay it in some manner and write a caption/sentence for each photo. Include their age.
