Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week in reading we are going to be working on making predictions. The students will be trying to predict what is going to happen next in the stories they read, based on what they have already read. When reading with your child at home, pause in the middle of the story and have your child predict what they think is going to happen next.
We are also going to be working on the long a sound, as in the word bake. Our chunk of the week this week is –ate as in skate. Remember to have your child practice their spelling words at home every night. Also, have your child practice using their spelling words in sentences.
This week in math we will be practicing finding the values of collections of pennies, nickels, and dimes. We will continue to explore domino/dot patterns to provide practice for basic addition facts. This week’s homework will include Home Link 3.12 and an addition practice sheet.
This week we will begin our new social studies unit on neighborhoods and our community.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to parent-teacher conferences. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to email me.
