This week in reading we are going to be looking at the main idea and details of different stories. We are going to be focusing on comprehension and working on asking ourselves questions throughout the story to make sure that we fully understand what we are reading. We are focusing on the ch and wh sounds, which will be our chunks of the week this week.
In math, we are going to continue working on addition and developing “fact power.” Having fact power is like being a good reader. It is more enjoyable if you recognize words automatically. The same is true of number facts. Solving problems is easier if you automatically know the answer. Keep practicing addition and subtraction facts with your child at home so they can develop fact power. Practice at home by playing math games, using flash cards, or playing online math games. Great online math activities are located on the Thorson webpage (go to IMC, then click on math). Look for Home Links 4.9 and 4.10 to come home this week.
We are looking forward to our holiday party next Tuesday. Thank you in advance to all of the parents who are donating items, preparing games/activities, and volunteering during the party. The children are already looking forward to it!
