This week we spent a lot of time finishing up reading assessments (we are almost done!) and completing some unfinished work. Alongside this, we continued with our phonics, focusing on digraphs, syllables, and trick words. Students also practiced the spelling rules for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">c, k,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ck<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. We\u2019ve been reinforcing sentence editing; capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end. Please continue to encourage this at home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Literacy &amp; Phonics<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">This week we kept working on digraphs, and students had fun coming up to the board to say their sounds and add words. We also explored:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Syllables and trick words<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The spelling rules for c, k, and ck<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daily sentence editing, where we practiced capitalisation and correct punctuation. Please continue reinforcing this at home!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\nWe also began learning about the 6+1 Traits of Writing, which help us understand what makes writing strong. These traits include:<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Ideas (main message)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Organization (structure)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Voice (personal tone)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Word Choice (vocabulary)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Sentence Fluency (flow and rhythm)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Conventions (mechanical correctness)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Presentation (how it looks on the page)<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Through mentor texts and class discussions, students are beginning to see how these traits apply to their own writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week, we will set up literacy centers. Students will rotate through guided reading, word work, sentence work, and Nessy Phonics. We\u2019ll also begin learning about closed syllables (one short vowel followed by a consonant, like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mask<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Math<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Students practiced ordering numbers, skip counting by 2\u2019s, 3\u2019s, 5\u2019s and tens. We even started tally marks yesterday and they were very excited about that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Next week, we\u2019ll move into bar graph (ways of representing data). We\u2019ll make fun graphs about our favourite fruits, sports, numbers in our names, and subjects. We\u2019ll also continue comparing numbers with greater than, less than, and ordering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Unit of Inquiry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">This week, students proudly presented their Shoebox Autobiographies. We displayed the boxes and on Sunday we will be doing a classroom \u201cwalk-about\u201d to see each other\u2019s work. We will use Venn Diagrams, so that students can compare their cultures with a partner\u2019s, noticing both similarities and differences. We are discovering that, while we come from many different places, we all share traditions, foods, celebrations, languages, and beliefs that connect us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week, we\u2019ll finish our reflection on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who We Are<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Students will:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Draw three things that represent their culture<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Write three words that describe our classroom culture<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Answer the question: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What can I do to help my classroom be a good learning environment?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><br \/>\nImportant Information<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Saturday Sports Club (Rotation 1)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Grades 2\u20138, Indoor Football<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Dates: Sept 20 \u2013 Oct 25, Saturdays 9:00\u201310:00 a.m.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cost: OMR 5 (one-time payment for 5 weeks)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">Upcoming Assemblies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Sept 25: Grades 4\u20136<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Oct 16: Grades 2\u20133<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">It\u2019s hard to believe we\u2019ve already completed our first month of school!
