September 23rd Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In reading this week, we will be reading about pets.  Our main focus will be on characters and settings.  As you read with your child, remember to ask them about the setting of the story.  We will be working on r blends this week.  The blends are br, fr, cr, gr, and tr.  Our chunk of the week will be –an as in can.  Remember to practice spelling and vocabulary words throughout the week.  Our spelling test this Friday will be given in sentence form.

This week in math we will be working on problem solving skills, writing tally marks to show a number, and looking at weather and temperature routines.  Look for Home Links 1.12, 1.13, and another addition practice sheet to come home this week.

We have been learning about the American flag and what it symbolizes.  Your child will also learn the Pledge of Allegiance and its meaning.

• This Friday afternoon is a professional development day for teachers.  Your child will be released at 11:35 a.m.
• I still have a few students who have not sent in a one inch binder to school.  If you have not, please send one in.
• Do you have any old playing cards?  If any of your decks are missing cards, I would love to have them to use for math games!
