Week 6

THINGS TO TALK ABOUT OR ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT THEIR LEARNING AT SCHOOL THIS WEEK…..

 

·       The IB word of the week is PRINCIPLED: Is your child learning how to be honest and have a sense of fairness? How so? Talk about ways your child has had to make principled decisions.  How can your child be principled?   
Book to read: Lily’s Purple Purse.  
·       We are learning how to read with a partner.  We sit Elbow, Elbow, Knee to Knee. Ask your child about good “read to partner” skills and what they should be doing during this activity. Have your child demonstrate how to sit with a partner during “read to self.” EEKK!
·       5 Senses – We had a scavenger hunt. What did your child find around the room that was soft, rough, hard, smooth?
·       5 Senses – We studied nature in the Robert’s Garden. What did your child find using his/her sense of sight? What did your child like about the garden? What can they tell you?
·       Review sight words. Even the sight words your child has passed.  Practice will help your child become more fluent in his/her reading.

 

Your child may be able to answer all of these questions or just some of them.  Whatever they can do, celebrate it!  I’ll try to send questions like this on a regular basis so that you can extend and share their learning from school at home!  J
