Weekly Newsletter 8.30.13

Good Evening Parents! It is 8:30 p.m. on Friday as I am writing you and it is dark outside  Where did the summer go? I guess this means we are quickly approaching fall. The past two weeks in the class have been busy following our various schedules of inclusion, therapists, gaining trust, and learning routines.

As we roll into September, I am looking forward to introducing new concepts to the kids. One, will be a Math Journal called “Number of the Day.” You will get one from your child each quarter. I will have them work on it during math centers. It is great because I can also differentiate each student’s abilities.

Second, we will be participating in a program called Global Read Aloud.

Last year, one of the book studies was Charlotte’s Web. Since Global Read Aloud does not start until September 30th, I would like to practice the student’s stamina of reading/listening to a chapter book. We will do a modified version of Charlotte’s Web starting Tuesday.

Reading: We will continue to practice our mastered sight words as well as introduce new ones.

Science: Nonliving/Living Unit

Social Studies: Maps and Community

Math: Work on individual IEP goals…ranging from Number Sense to Applications

Spelling: We spelled our sight words using play dough this week. (Sorry for the mess!)

Important Dates:

September 6 - Picture Day

I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
