November 3-7

Important News:
  • Don't forget that there is no school on Tuesday, November 4th!
  • Thursday, November 20 is Dads and Donuts!  Dads or a special guest are welcome to come and share a doughnut with your child before school. 
  • November 12 is Picture Retake Day.
  • Report Cards will be handed out at the conference.  We look forward to talking with you about your child's progress!
Language Arts
We will be learning about bears through both fiction and non-fiction books.  We will be comparing and contrasting the stories.  We will continue to discuss how we know if a book is fiction or non-fiction.

Sight words have also been a focus.  Please continue to practice the sight words at home.  If you child is very fluent (can say it quickly), then move on to the bonus sight words that come home monthly.

Math
We have been learning the combinations that make 5.  Also, we are working on becoming fluent within 100.  We will be playing several games this week that reinforce these skills.  We are also reinforcing recognition of the teen numbers.

Homework
  • Counting to 100--Practice saying the name before and after a given number.
  • Try writing at home.  We tell our students they cannot say "How do you spell..." instead they can say "Can you help me chop/stretch?"  Help your child stretch out the words that they are writing.
