February 2nd Newsletter



Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week in reading we will be working on comparing and contrasting.  We will be looking for things in the stories that we read that are alike and different.  We will also be revisiting compound words.  Additionally, we will be focusing on the sound ay and ai as in the words bay and mail.


In math, we are going to continue using name collection boxes.  We will also be practicing our fact families and learning about fact triangles.  Look for the Unit 6 Family Letter to come home this week along with Home Links 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4.  Please keep the fact triangle home link (6.4) at home so that your child can practice with the fact triangles.  Remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home.  This quarter we will be working on facts all the way up to 16.

Happy Groundhog Day!  Last week we made predictions as to whether the groundhog would see his shadow or not.  Will we have six more weeks of winter or will we have an early spring?
