If you haven’t already done so, please return the permission slip for your child to attend our field trip to the ballet. This is a FREE field trip and we want all the students to be able to enjoy this special experience.
Challenge Spelling Words: Double Consonants (F)
Congratulations to last week’s Principal’s Award winner, Joelle!
Additional Reading Information: We are working on asking and answering questions as we read. Here is a helpful resource to use at home when you are asking your child to provide “text evidence” for their answers. Text Evidence Poster
Additional Math Information:Last week we focused on doubles facts (Ex: 2+2, 8+8, etc.). This week will use our knowledge of doubles facts to help us memorize near doubles facts (Ex: 2+3, 7+8). This week we will also work on finding sums by making 10. This concept of “ten-ness” is particularly important and will be emphasized throughout the year. Students who have memorized the addend pairs that equal ten (1+9, 2+8, 3+7, etc.) have a much easier time when we begin adding and subtracting larger numbers later on. These facts, along with doubles facts, are the most important facts to be focusing on at home.
