Week 24-28

Am class, I had homework already and forgot to pass out the folders! I'm so sorry! It will be sent out tomorrow, just do your best to complete it. We also realized that October 10th is picture day so we won't be going on our field trip that day. We are looking to go on October 9th that week's Tuesday.

We are taking about the word we and the letter/sound Aa. We will be blending a and m as well. Thanks for all you do!

Parent Volunteer Helpful Tips

Parent Help during Job Time

 Thanks for your willingness to help during Center/job time (I use either phrasing).  We really appreciate your time and help in our classroom!  Please help us reinforce classroom procedures during center time while I am reading with students.  Here are a list of procedures and helpful hints that I expect from my students while they’re working. 

1.     Students should be on task using their inside voices.

2.     Students are responsible for their own messes.  Please do not clean up after them or get materials out for them.  I want them to take responsibility for their own desk area and materials.  If they leave something on the floor, forget to put a pencil away, need to push in their chair, etc., please invite them back to clean up after themselves. 

3.    “Ask 3 Before Me”- I use this phrase if kids have a question.  I have them ask 3 friends for the answer before they ask the teacher or adult in the room.

4.      “3 or more colors”- All work that is colored must have 3 or more colors.

5.    Ask students to hand sanitize if they are putting hands in their mouths or touching their nose.

6.     Interrupting- Kids touch an adult’s shoulder or elbow to get your attention.  When you are ready to respond, you touch their hand and ask them what they need.

7.     Follow the pocket chart- When students ask what they do next have them look at the blue pocket chart to find their answer.  Please guide them to help solve their own questions and problems!

8.      Gluestick Rules- Put glue around the edges and one “x” in the middle.  Twist the glue down and wait to hear the snap of the lid going on.

9.      Highlighting Letter and Number Formation- please use a highlighter to trace over student’s numbers or letter formation when needed.  Students then erase their pencil marks and trace yours.  I have light colored markers by the sink and some highlighters in my cup at my desk.

10.           When a student asks you how to spell something say, “use your best kindergarten spelling” or say, “sound it out.”  You may help them sound out a word, but please don’t tell them the letters.

11.           When a student carries scissors, have them hold the blade clasped in the palm of their hand.

12.           Assume all seat work goes in their cubby to go home, unless I’ve said otherwise.

Field Trip Date

Our field trip to Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake is tentatively set for October 10th. You will be contacted shortly for sign ups etc. That day we will wear "Performance Dress" which means white polo/blue bottoms. More information will be given out as the day grows closer.

Week of Sept 17-21st

Parents,

This week is our first week of parent volunteers. Please be patient as we are still learning how to work independently/figure everything out. THANK YOU so much for those parents that have helped us the last couple of days. It really helps out a lot.

This is also our first week of homework. Please help your child as needed with the tasks. Look how they are holding their pencil/scissors. I've been noticing some kids still struggling with scissors so reinforcement at home is great. Thank you for all the support.

Our week emphasis includes:
Math- graphing/sorting, Letter/Sound-Mm, Word- We

Next week we will be working on "family jobs" so we will need to borrow some items from home for both of our classes (you will get them back after next week). If you've got them, email me at manglesey@gmail.com 
- laundry basket
- small clothes (we are going to be folding/sorting laundry)
- clothes with various size buttons
- shoes with laces
- small water pitchers
- table cloth
-5 place mats

Thanks Again!
