Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you enjoyed the week-end and are ready for a full week of learning!

We are starting this week with our first reading story "Teacher's Pet." 

With this story we will examine the story structure - characters, setting,

and plot.  In language we are working on writing complete sentences and

identifying naming and telling parts of sentences.  In spelling we are working

with short -a and -i words patterns.  Your child has their spelling list in the

back pocket of their Take Home folder.  PLEASE leave it in that pocket. 

Your child needs to use their list during the week in class.  As long as your

child brings their folder back and forth to school, they will always have

their list at home at night to study.

We are continuing our first unit in math with a focus this week on addition

and subtraction strategies.

In social studies we are exploring maps and globes.

Homework:

Monday - Read and write sentences

Tuesday - Read and write sentences, math

Wednesday - Wed. folders, read

Thursday - Students will bring their reading books home to read from this

week's story and write sentences, math, study spelling words

On Friday we will have our first reading, phonics, and spelling tests.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Kane
