Here's what coming up....



Language Arts: We will enjoy two new stories from our Houghton Mifflin Reading Series; An Egg is an Egg and Who's in the Family. The strategy focus for each is summarizing and the comprehension strategy is drawing conclusions. We will continue to focus on the elements of a story; beginning, middle, end, problem and solution.

Phonics: We will learn new phonograms this week as we go through our Total Reading Program. Please look for your child's work each day and have fun going on phonogram hunts as you read your together each night. So far we have learned: sh, th, ee, er, ch, ck, wh, ea

Word Wall Words: Here is the list of the current words on our word wall. It is a great idea to make a word wall or use flashcards at home to help your child master the reading of these words. We will add 5 more word each week so knowing these is very important.

Writing: We will continue our new school wide writing program, Writing Workshop, working on our narrative pieces. We are in the editing phase this week.

Grammar: We will work on reading and writing complete sentence finding the action part of a sentence, verbs, as well as the nouns.

Math: We will work in Unit 3 Module 1 in our Bridges Math Program where students will focus on single digit number facts, fact families as well as adding and subtraction using our doubles strategies. Working on these skills at home is a great help to your child!

Reminder: Our Rio Book Fair is the week of parent conferences. We hope you will plan on doing some shopping and supporting our school!
