In phonics this week we are learning about vowels & are starting our study of word families. We will start with focusing on short a word families.

Our spelling words this week are: if, me, up, be, we, cap, nap, map, bag & tag.

Our read alouds this week will continue our theme of the importance of friendship.

In math we will finish our number sense unit and begin focusing on using a ten-frame to add and subtract.

During writing time we are learning the routines of writing workshop and will focus on how to develop an idea to write about.

Today your student will begin bringing home a book for homework and a reader’s notebook. Each day they will record their book and answer a question in their notebook.

I am looking forward to another great week with your students!
