Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week we will finish up opinion writing and begin working on "How-to" writing by completing instructions on how to build a snowman during community writing time. We will also explore "How-to" writing by looking at how-to books and Lego instruction booklets. The children will also make a list of things they can teach others to do. Additionally, we will review and discuss when to use each type of punctuation - period, exclamation mark, and questions mark. We will also continue working on hearing the first sound in words. We will change the first sound to make a new word (hand- land, stand, band).

In math, we will solve addition number sentences with missing addends (7=___+4), solve problems with part-part-whole using dominoes, solve story problems involving unknown addends, and determine if equations are true or false (6+3=10-2). Today, your child will be bringing home a homework packet containing four pages. Please have your child work on it throughout the week and return it to school on or before Friday. Thank you!
We will continue our science unit on Pushes and Pulls this week. The kids are having fun learning about all the different ways we use forces in school and outside of school.
