*Please have your child read and re-read the pre-decodable and the decodable books that are sent home. Depending upon your child's reading abilities these books will range from very easy to challenging. However, it is still good practice to have your child read and discuss these books with you at home.

Handwriting

Students will practice writing Cc, Ee, Ff, and Gg using proper letter formation.

MATH
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays students will be in math work stations.
Our math work stations are planned to reinforce our daily objectives, build a strong foundation in number sense, and discover number relationships.

This week we are working on identifying, representing, and writing numbers 8 & 9. Students will also be working on the concepts of one more, one less, and the same. 

On Tuesdays and Thursdays students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
