Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our topic this week in reading will be all about sports and teamwork. We will be talking about books that give information about a specific topic. We will be integrating our science unit into our guided reading groups by reading about land and water. The students will be continuing to differentiate between telling and asking sentences. Additionally, the kids are enjoying adding new poems to our poetry binders each week. We use the poems to help practice our reading fluency. The sounds we are focusing on this week are nd, nk, nt, and st. Our chunk of the week this week will be –et as in met.
This week we will be working on counting up and back on a number grid, learning our telephone numbers, and practicing single digit addition. Watch for the Unit 2 Family Letter to come home this week. Home Links for lessons 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 will also be coming home this week.
In science, we will be continuing our unit on land and water. We will also be studying many animals we see during the fall season. We will be reading and writing about these animals as well as seeing some of them up close on our field trip to The Shalom Wildlife Sanctuary on October 17th.
