November 20th Newsletter


Dear Parents and Guardians,

As you might be writing letters to Santa or working on gift lists with your children, I wanted to let you know that during this short week we are working on "letters that go with r," otherwise known as blends.  While we do want children to listen for sounds and write what they hear, if your child isn't hearing those blends at the beginning or words (such as truck, pretty, crib, freeze)  it would be great if you could help them stretch the word by saying it really slowly.  We are really focusing on getting both those sounds into our words.  Remember, it isn't necessary to spell the word correctly but those beginning sounds are really important right now!  

In math, we will continue to work on place value, balanced equations, and frames and arrows problems.  There will not be any math homework this week.

We will continue working on our Communities unit in social studies.  Thank you to all of the parents that have volunteered to talk to the students about your job!
