Mo Williams doodle/art

Hi all, I was just told about this Mo Williams Doodle site and I thought of my class. They love reading his books so I though they may enjoy seeing him teach about doodling and art.  A new video is suppose to be released each day. I attached  the link on a separate post because I couldn't get it to work through this message. It is on you tube so please watch/ view together to be sure all content and or ads are appropriate.  I do think they will enjoy seeing one of their favorite authors. Have a great St,Patricks Day! 

email message: thank you & frequent questions 3/16

Hello Everyone,

Well we made it through the first day. I appreciate all your patience and effort into helping your child get set up for the weeks’ assignments. Through the feedback today some were able to maneuver easier through the sites than others. So, if you come to something that you can’t find, don’t worry as you and your child familiarize yourselves with the site it should get easier.

Here are some of the answers to the questions I got today that others may also want to know:

* I wanted to let you know the work can be done at your pace. Please do worry if you can’t complete it all, each household is different  as each child works differently; what should take ten minutes at school can drag into 30min at home ( I get it my 8th grader is still working on today assignments) And children work differently with their parents than with me.  So, it is not worth the fight. Let them go on to their portal, they are very familiar with it and everything they push is a learning tool. The days outline is just a guide should you need it.

*All worksheets done can be brought to me when we return. There is no need to email or take pictures. I can see when work is done on reflex,  iready  and wonders (McGraw hill).

*Tonight, I will post the spelling and grammar pages since some couldn’t access them. I will also post journal /story paper if you want to use that ,but any lined paper you have is fine. I will also add an optional shamrock color page and word search just for fun. So when you check the edlio site scroll down to see prior posts. I had already attached the math & practice pages if you had not picked them up at school.

*All  reading texts can be accessed through the mcgraw hill sight, wonders tab  book with squirrel

Room 13 Update

Jan. 9,2020

Dear Room 13 Parents,

I hope you all had a restful and wonderful winter break. I want to thank you again for all the thoughtful gifts I received for the holiday. It was also so nice to meet with you all during conference time.   The new year is a busy time for first grade. Here is what is happening in Room 13.

Save the Date for Feb. 14th at 8:45 will be the First Grade Love Show in the MPR. The children will be singing, dancing and reciting some poetry. Please have your child wear red, white or pink on that day. They will also be asked to bring a medium sized stuffed animal at the beginning of Feb. to leave at school for the performance.

 

I will also be working on putting out a new classroom volunteer schedule in the coming weeks. If you would like to help, I can use volunteers Tues. and Thurs. mornings from 9:15-10:25. Send me an email with your preferences. Include preferred day and if you would rather work with small group/one on one or more clerical type tasks.  I know a few of you can’t make T/TH just let me know which day is best and we can make it work.  Thank you for the help during the first half of the year and for all the lovely donations.

 

In Language Arts we are starting Unit Three. The essential question focuses on how to measure time. So, we will be introducing how to tell time on an analog clock. In reading and writing we are working on identifying and ordering the beginning, middle and end of a story. In the Spring we hope to publish a class book.

In Math we are starting Chapter 7 which focuses on numbers to 20. Working on math facts to twenty at home will be helpful. Reflex math and working with flash cards can help your child memorize these facts.

 

During conferences there was some interest in more challenging reading homework, so I will send home a sheet that corresponds to the lessons taught from our reading curriculum. You can use these words to enrich the homework. They can write sentence or stories using the weekly spelling word or vocab. You can apply the comprehension skill to other stories they read. Also they can log into [email protected] and use the McGraw Hill, Typing.com, Reflex and BrainPOP apps that we use in school. The homework policy is still optional, but I encourage them to do the nightly homework sheet and always read at least 15mins a night.

 Please never hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can’t thank you enough for all your help and support. I am so proud of all the progress my class  has made; they are a great group of kids!

Thank you,

Regina Adams
