Dear
Parents,
We have had
a wonderful two weeks of getting to know each other! We have practiced (and
practiced) many of the procedures and routines that will be maintained
throughout this school year. I am very impressed with this group of students.
They are amazing!
This week,
we will begin digging into our reading curriculum. We will be practicing the
short /a/ sound in words. Your child will have a new list of spelling words
each week. Each Friday, your child will take a spelling test to see if they
have mastered the phonics target for the week. These tests are intended to
inform my instruction. J Your child will also be bringing home paper decodable
readers and/or reading passages each week. Please be sure to have them practice
reading these to someone at home. Beginning in October, you will have an
opportunity to help your child participate in the Pizza Hut Book It! reading
program. There will be a monthly reading log that will need to be turned in at
the end of each month in order to receive a coupon for a free personal pizza!
In math, our
focus will be to work on finding various combinations of 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. We
will also be using the counting on strategy to solve problems. Many of the
activities we have been doing in class are very familiar to students and I am
pleased to see that they have been catching on rather quickly.
As always, if you have any questions please feel
free to reach me by email at AndreaPiatz@selah.k12.wa.us. You may also call the school at 698-8100.
