Dear Parents and Guardians,
In math, the children will practice measuring and comparing lengths using nonstandard units, such as paper clips. We will also be introducing the inch and how to use a ruler. The children will learn to estimate and measure the length of objects in inches. Look for Home Links 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 to come home this week.
This week in reading we are going to be working on comparing and contrasting ideas in the stories that we read. We will be reading about how different cultures and customs are alike and different. In addition, we are going to be focusing on s blends. Examples of words with s blends include: spell, swim, and skip. Our chunk of the week this week will be –ake as in cake.
In writing, we will be working on our letters to Santa. They will be going to the North Pole on Friday and we will be getting our responses right before Christmas!
Your child needs to know the name of their street by Friday for a lesson in our neighborhoods unit. Please practice writing it with your child.
