3 ways to read a book


**Book orders were sent home on Tuesday. They are due back on Tuesday September 17
**Demographic forms must be signed and returned

Ms. Granger and Mrs. Ly are looking forward to meet you next week during our first parent teacher conferences. Conference booking is now open and available online. This conference will be an opportunity for you to share with us about your child and how we can work together to help this be a successful year. Your child does not need to present for this conference. Please sign up by clicking HERE 

Did you know that there are 3 ways to read a book? Ask me to tell you the ways. 

1) Read the pictures
2) Read the words
3) Retell the story

This week, we have been working on reading just the pictures and then reading the words. We are identifying ourselves as readers. We talked about what good readers do. Ask me to share with you what I know good readers do.

We have been taking a closer look at who we are and representing ourselves through self portraits. We learned how to draw ourselves by carefully looking in the mirror and adding details to our face to make it look realistic. We cannot wait to share these with you next week when you come to parent conferences. 







In math, we have been looking at making patterns. We are also looking at numbers and how to represent them in different ways. 



Here is our list of sight words that we will be learning. Please print it out. I should be able to identify all of the sight words on this list by November. Each week, we will be introduced to 5 new sight words from this list. Please help me by practicing them daily. A reminder that our sight words this week are: the, is, for, one, to.

Our poem says "I think I can"! This is a positive mindset that we are trying learn to say to ourselves even when things are hard. We listened to a story called "How to catch a star" which is about a boy who loved stars and wished he could catch his own. We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...
