September 28th Newsletter


Dear Parents and Guardians,

In reading, we will continue to sequence the stories that we read.  We will also be focusing on the characters and settings.  We will be reading two different versions of The Three Little Pigs and we will be comparing and contrasting the two stories.  Our chunk of the week this week is -in as in win.  We will also be reviewing the short a sound as well.  This week will be the last spelling test that the students write just the words.  Starting next week, the spelling test will be given in sentence form.

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 today.  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 9th.
