We are continuing our study of word families this week in phonics. This week we will focus on short e and short i word families.

Our spelling words this week are: how, has, as, by, get, hen, ten, let, set & bin.

This week our read alouds will all be by the author Kevin Henkes. We will discuss characteristics of Kevin Henkes’ books.

In math this week we are working more on addition and subtraction. We will practice adding and subtracting on a number path. We will learn that addition sentences can be added in any order. We will practice finding a missing addend in a number sentence, using a picture model.

In honor of Johnny Appleseed, we will learn about him on Friday and do some related activities.

I’m looking forward to another great week with your students!
