September 22nd Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In reading this week, we will be reading about pets.  Our main focus will be on characters, settings and sequencing.  As you read with your child, remember to ask them about the setting of the story, as well as the events that happened in the story.  We have been working on our reading strategies to help us with both our reading and writing.  Make sure to ask your child about the animals reading strategies they have been practicing at school.  Last week we worked on stretchy snake and this week we will be focusing on chunky monkey.  Additionally, we will be working on r blends.  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.

This week we will begin a new science unit on Land and Water.  Make sure to ask your child what they are learning in science!
  • We are still in need of a lot of socks for our student white boards.  Please send one in if you are able to!
