    Smart Cookies Storytime:  Where the Wild Things Are
     
     
     
     
     
     
    ​Dear Families,
    Welcome to the new normal!  Let's work together to keep our children learning!  I sent home the packets on Monday.  Ttihey should be done at a pace of a lesson per day in Math, Social Studies and Science and Language Arts, one Comprehension assignment and 1 other ELA assignment.  The homework and newsletters were already copied so they should be completed as  usual throughout the week.  You can use the skeleton for other words next week if you'd like.  You may have fewer distractions at home and may complete assignments sooner than we would at school.  Continue reading with your child and record on your reading log.  Create a new one on paper for April if we're out. 
     
    I cannot go to the building to get more instructional materials so, I'll do everything electronically and check in. I thought of some additional things they can do to teach you what we do in class so we feel somewhat connected.  It is our morning routine, you start by saying these things and they should be able to finish them:
     
    "Classroom Rules" (they should state our rules)
    January, February,March (they should sing our calendar song)
    Yesterday was...(they should tell you by looking at a calendar)
    30 Days ( they should complete the poem)
     
    Money Song (they should sing the money song)
    *Pull out some coins to do this; one of each:  penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, dollar coin and say:  " What coin is this, ask its value, who's on the front, what's on the back, how many nickels in a dime, how many pennies in a nickel, how many pennies and nickels in a dime, quarter etc.
     
    "Short Vowels ready go!" (a as in apple cat) 
    and so on then you say "Long Vowels ready we're not ready go!  (a as in acorn cake)
     Sounds:  a, as in tasting medicine, eh as in Grandma can't hear you, i, as in the stinky dog ran up to you, o, open your mouth and say ahhh when the doctor puts a tongue depressor in your mouth and uh, as the boy forgot the message he was given on the phone.  ( I describe the pictures that are in my room for them to make the sounds)  This is long, you may want to print it out.  
    Now it's time to Retrain Your Brain:  We're not going to say I can't do it  we're going to say, I can't do it yet... and so on, they should be able to say all 5 or 6 of them for you.  I'd also like to share the THINK Pad for conflict resolution:
    T  -  is it true?
    H​- is it helpful?
    I-   is it inspiring?
    N-  is it necessary?
    K-   is it kind?
     
    Review these each morning to start the workday as we do in class.
      
    Good Luck, I will also send some things that were sent to me to help from Sadlier (Fab Vocab) and the Guidance Dept.  
     
     Your Child's Teacher,
    Mrs. Cooks-CTW -Change The World!

    As stated in the email, please allow your child to go to rcsslaunchpad to access:  iReady, Social Studies Weekly, MyOn (read books online), Pearson Easy Bridge (our math series, we are on Topic 13 Time), (ED)Georgia Science (Living Things, there's a panda on the front, have your child take the test when done with the lessons) and First in Math.  Go to Storyline online to hear stories read by famous people, we've done that in class but it is not on launchpad, you can google it.   I hope these are helpful to all of the children in your home!
