The Buzz in Room 103: It's November...Seriously?! 11/6-11/10

Hello!

Last week was a very busy, fun week in room 103! This week coming up is going to be a fractured week, which is tough for consistency in the classroom. We have been working really hard on listening to teacher directions and following those directions. The students are also working on not talking out of turn. Overall, the children are understanding what "independent work time" looks like and sounds like. They are getting so good at the routines and I love seeing the friendships forming! I have a lot to talk to you about at our November conference...(hint to sign up😂).

I will be sending home a Scholastic Book order form (look for it this week). If you would like to order books and would like it to be a surprise for your child for the holidays or whatever, just let me know and I will set them aside when they come in and you can pick them up at our conference on 11/29. Otherwise, I will send them home in your child's backpack. The Scholastic Book Club is a great way to get amazing books at a fair price. Our classroom gets points for every dollar spent and I collect those points and get things for the classroom (like books, the little couch, academic games, supplies, etc). So, make sure to add our class code if you choose to order! The orders will be due by 11/15.

This coming week:

Tuesday- no school for students
Friday- Veteran's Day/no school

In Language Arts, students will:

learn letters l, h, k
practice all sight words learned to date
practice ABC order
match upper/lower case
identify beginning sounds in words (and the letter of that sound if learned formally)
retell a story (about Mama and Baby Echo)
write a pattern book (with sight words: I can, I like, I see)
draw and label their house
