Happy Monday Everyone!

This week we are reviewing long and short vowels during phonics.  We will start having spelling test NEXT week.  In language we are reviewing nouns and learning about collective nouns, such as a flock of birds or a herd of cows.  We began reading Arthur's Back to School Day.  We will be asking and answering questions from the story and will determine the meaning of words based on context clues.

In math we are working on adding and subtracting strategies. While in social studies we are studying maps and globes and learning about continents and oceans.

Just a reminder that students should not be bringing toys to school unless there is a special day set aside for this.  If that is the case, I will communicate it with you.

Please check your child's folder nightly for unfinished classwork that needs to be finished.  It will be on the "return to school" side of the folder.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
