Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week, we'll be working on making our stories clear and understandable, by telling them in sequence. In reading, we will focus on thinking about what word would make sense when we get stuck reading because "sounding it out" doesn't work all the time. We'll also practice retelling some of our stories, making sure to include the important parts of the story. This will help us understand what we should be paying attention to in a story. Both of these skills will be something we practice a lot throughout the year.
Please remember that reading to you child is extremely important. Modeling for your child with expression and sharing what you are thinking will truly set your child up for success later on. Thank you so much for your support!
Our take-home book program will begin this week! Please remember to initial and return the books after you have read them so that your child can bring home new books. Thank you for reading with your child each night at home. It is extremely important!
In math this week we will use objects, drawings and equations to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction. We will also count to 120, starting at any number (not always 1), mentally find 10 more or 10 less than any two-digit number (with the help of number grids). Additionally, we will learn about even and odd number patterns. We will continue to practice math center routines and learn procedures for a few new math centers so that we can add them to our center board.
