October 13th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week in reading we will concentrate on retelling and summarizing stories in order to check for comprehension.  Your child will be asked to identify characters and settings in a story.  We have been working on identifying nouns in sentences.  We will also learn about plural nouns this week.  We will continue to work on writing in complete sentences.  Our chunk of the week this week is –ed  as in bed.
  
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 2.10 and 2.11.  Please practice counting combinations of nickels and pennies, telling time to the hour, and practicing subtraction facts to six.

We have our first field trip of the school year on Friday!  We will be outside almost the entire time, so please dress your child for the weather.  They also need a cold lunch AND something to drink, we will be eating at Shalom.
