Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you might be writing letters to Santa or working on gift lists with your children, we wanted to let you know that during this short week we are working on "letters that go with r," otherwise known as blends. While we do want children to listen for sounds and write what they hear, if your child isn't hearing those blends at the beginning or words (such as truck, pretty, crib, freeze) it would be great if you could help them stretch the word by saying it really slowly. We are really focusing on getting both those sounds into our words. Remember, it isn't necessary to spell the word correctly but those beginning sounds are really important right now!
This week we will begin unit 4 in math. Your child will be learning how to read a thermometer. Please practice counting by 2’s to help them read a thermometer. As you help your child with homework, please guide them with directions as necessary. The Family Letters we send home for each unit have all of the answers listed and will help you assist your child with their homework. Look for Home Link 4.1 and the Unit 4 Family Letter to come home this week.
We will continue working on our Communities unit in social studies.
