September 21st - September 25th

What We Are Learning
Reading: 
Metacognition: this is just a fancy way to say that good readers comprehend. Ask your child what this word means and for them to sing the metacognition song.
Skippy Frog reading strategy (skip the tricky word and then come back).
Word Work:
Popcorn Words: his, be, at, they, & this
Digraph: “wh”
Word Family: _ap
Writing:
Writing small moment/true stories
Using correct uppercase and lowercase letters
Using speech bubbles in our illustrations
Math:
Identifying common 2D shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, trapezoid, & hexagon)
Attributes of 2D shapes (sides and corners)
Theme:
Scientists ask questions and research to find answers
Asking questions about apples

Tiger Pride Assembly
On September 30th, we will have our first Tiger Pride Assembly.  This year we will celebrate student achievement a little bit differently than last year. Instead of apples, I will give away PAWS to students who show PAWS behavior (P: Pay Attention, A: Act Positively, W: Work Hard, & S: Show Self-Control). I will send a secret note to you if your kiddo will be recognized. Come and enjoy the fun!

Fall Wonder Table
 I sent home a letter two weeks ago requesting fall items to place on our Wonder Table.  These can be pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves, etc. These items will help us learn about observing, asking questions, and investigating answers.

Dates to Remember
September 30th: Tiger Pride Assembly 2:30
October 9th: Fall Party and Half Day for Students
October 30th- November 3rd: No School
October 31st: Run for the Orchard 5K
