a peek at the week!

Posted: June 3, 2013

 Let's see what the week has in store!         With an adult, Read every night and practice your sight words. We finished our pirate party today so children did not bring home books. *Math Outcome-THE BIG IDEAS: number sense! Recognize numerals and match numeral to quantity.  Part-Part-Whole, 5 frames and 10 frames. Students need to have a good understanding of relationships of numbers between 0-10.  Comparing values- Numbers that are more and less than others, the difference between quantities Our focus this week is number lines and relations between numbers.  Combinations of 8, 9 and 10 to finish off our unit on numbers to 10. Children will be reassessed on the unit.   Our next unit is identifying and building  with 2 and 3D shapes.    Here’s   What’s   Up! Go for 42!  The MANGO challenge is on! We are encouraging all Napan Elementary families to rise to the challenge.  A 1 km (or more) family walk each day not only gets your child closer to the 42 target, it provides exercise, outdoor time, quality family time, and math skills- count steps between phone poles, mailboxes etc.  compare steps from walking to running.  Why are they different? If you are participating, please send the kid’s booklet each day for recording purposes. Don’t forget the forms if your child is participating in the fun run in June! Students have been walking a Kilometer/day when weather cooperates.  They are doing very well in keeping with the challenge.
