Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week we'll get started with guided reading, now that we have learned how to do each of our centers. Our centers have become one of the favorite parts of our day. During this time students are reading independently or with a buddy, or with a small group. In some centers we read with big pointers and in some we're reading the poems we learn during shared reading. A favorite is the listening center, where students use tablets and their headphones to listen to a variety of picture books, which are changed monthly. We're also doing some word work, some free writing, and even some art! Often we will be illustrating pieces of writing we did as a whole group and either creating a big book or hanging them in the hallway to share.
Last week, we added the words to, you, he, on, at and that to our word wall. Please look for an updated word wall sheet to come home in your child's red folder today.
Please remember that reading to you child is extremely important. Modeling for your child with expression and sharing what you are thinking will truly set your child up for success later on. Thank you so much for your support!
Our take-home book program will begin this week! Please remember to initial and return the books after you have read them so that your child can bring home new books. Thank you for reading with your child each night at home. It is extremely important!
This week in math we will be learning about counting up and back on a number grid, comparing quantities of pennies and nickels, and counting and writing by 2’s, 5’s and 10's. We will be reviewing time and working on story problems. Look for Home Links numbers 2.10 and 2.11 to come home this week. Please practice counting combinations of nickels and pennies, telling time to the hour, and practicing subtraction facts to six.Last week, we added the words to, you, he, on, at and that to our word wall.

This week we will continue to learn and write about animals that we see in the fall. We will also begin our Land and Water science unit. We will investigate rocks and recognize that rocks and soil are part of Earth's land that people use.
