October 28th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week in reading will be focusing on main ideas and finding details to support them in the stories we read.  We will also be learning about proper nouns.  The sounds we will be focusing on this week are the sh and th sounds in both the beginning and ending position of a word.  Remember to practice the Unit 2 vocabulary/high frequency words that were sent home earlier this month.

We will be starting a new unit in math this week.  Please look for the parent letter for Unit 3 to come home this week.  We will be working on pattering skills, odd and even numbers, and reviewing basic number line concepts.  Your child should be able to add and subtract using a number line.  Look for Home Links 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4.  Ask your child to sing the “Doubles” song we’ve been learning, too!

In science, we have been working on our Land and Water unit.  Your child has been learning about natural resources and their uses in the environment.  We will also be investigating the properties of rocks.
