April 1-5 and April 8-12

Important News

• Please remember to send back the "book in a bag" so that your child can continue to practice the skills that they learn in guided reading.  Please remind your child to change their book daily.
• If you get a book in a bag that says "please return tomorrow" it is very important that you send it back to school the next day because it is one of our guided reading books.  Thank you!

Language Arts

• We will be learning about the Earth, Sun and Moon for the next two weeks.  We will be reading many non-fiction books including Earth and Moon and Watching the Night Sky.  Ask your child to share some information that they have learned.  We will write in our journals about this information.  We will also focus on the comprehension skill of comparing and contrasting.
• We will be learning about blends such as bl, cl, fl, gl, br, cr, dr, etc.
• We will continue to focus on lowercase letters during handwriting.

Math

• We have been focusing on fluency with the addition and subtraction facts to 5.  You may have seen some timed tests come home in the last week.  We are practicing completing 10 math facts in one minute. 
• We will begin a unit on place value.
