Where Minds Can Grow!


January 16, 2015

This Week

We finished up our Jan Brett author study! We


have read ALL of her books, learned all about Jan
Brett, plus learned how to draw many of
characters from her book! I hope you had the
opportunity to visit her website, it has SO MUCH
to do we couldnt possibly do it all at school!
During theme, we completed our sloth Can, Have,
Are chart where we recorded facts about sloths
in the form of sloths can, sloths have, or sloths
are. Its an easy way to get the children
accustomed to learning about an animal and
recording facts weve learned! We also signed up
for construction jobs to make our life-sized sloth!
The design crew met Thursday and Friday we
began drawing out our sloth!
Also this week, we had DIBELS testing (you will be
getting your childs scores within the next week or
two)!
We also began a new venture: guided reading
groups! I hope your child has come home and
shared that they READ A BOOK all by themselves!
During centers I am pulling 3-4 friends in a group
and we are reading a book together! We are also
using some fancy pointers to help us read, be sure
to ask your child what they are!

Next Week

Sloth construction will be officially underway! I


am hoping that our sloth will be hanging up by
Friday! Fingers crossed! During our whole-group
theme time, we will be reading books about the
100th day of school to celebrate this special day!
For shared reading, we will be learning all about
Martin Luther King Jr.! We will spend the week
learning about his life, and completing some very
fun activities that deal with diversity and how no
matter what color we are, we are all the same on
the inside!
