October 14th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to the short week, we will not be doing our regular spelling.  Instead, we will be focusing on animals and their habitats.  We will be integrating our science unit Land and Water into our Communication Arts block.  Our spelling words this week will reflect our study of animals, land, and water.  Our spelling test will be on Thursday and it will not be given in sentence form.  The kids will be tested only on the list of words. 

This week in math we will be learning about counting up and back on a number grid, comparing quantities of pennies and nickels, and counting by 2’s and 5’s.  We will be reviewing time and working on story problems.  Look for Home Links numbers 2.8, 2.10, and 2.11.  Please practice counting combinations of nickels and pennies, telling time to the hour, and practicing subtraction facts to six.
