Joseph Martin Elementary
August 12, 2013
This week we will be learning the concepts of more, less, and the same in math. We will be working with comparing and doing tally charts. Please reinforce these concepts at home.
We are reading some stories together in class focusing on consonant, vowel, consonant words such as hat, got, and put. We are doing a phonics lesson each day and a grammar lesson each day. We work on sight words and reading fluency individually, in whole group, and in small group throughout the week. We will begin going to the library and checking out AR books next week. You should see a report from me with some information about your child’s individual reading level next week.
We are beginning our study of The Wizard of Oz this week. We are learning about the different elements of stories, especially fairy tales. Expect to hear a lot about the Land of Oz in the next few weeks. We have a great time reading and doing activities with that book!
We will be observing the weather and learning about different types in science. We will be learning all about the oceans and continents in Social Studies for the next two weeks and then we will move on to landforms.
Please remember to send your child’s folder to school each day.
If you need anything, please send a note in his or her folder or an email to bbauer@liberty.k12.ga.us
