Hello
Families!
Don’t Forget Swimming on Thursday,
March 19th!
This week in
Language Arts, we will be working on words that begin and end with the letter
G. We are continuing to put story events
in order (beginning, middle, end – sequence).
We are working on using complete sentences in our writing, and making
sure each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period or question
mark.
In Math, we
are finishing our unit on adding groups up to 10. We will begin our next two units on “teen
numbers”, and be able to show a teen number is 10 plus another number. Ex.
15=10 +5. We also have a special
St. Patrick’s Day graphing activity with
a yummy snack! We will be sending home
an extra set of flash cards this week to continue practicing memorizing our addition
facts with answers to 5.
In Science
we will read about the life cycles of various animals (chickens, horses, frogs,
butterflies).
Have a great
week!

Hello
Families!
Thank you so
much to all who have been coming to watch at swimming lessons! We are also very proud of how independent our
students have been getting changed in the locker room. 5 more lessons to go!
This week in
Language Arts, we will be working on words with letter H, words with short a and
short o (ex. Hat, map, top, cot), adding the words “are”, “that” and “do” to
our list, identifying naming parts of sentences (who or what the sentence is
about), and putting pictures in the right order to tell a story.
In Math, we
are continuing to work on addition. We
are now finding different ways to make a number (number families ex. 5=1+4,
5=2+3, 5=0+5). We are also working on
memorizing our addition facts. We have
been practicing +0 (0+0, 1+0,2+0, 3+0, 4+0, 5+0) and +1 (0+1, 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and
4+1).
In Social
Studies, we read about George Washington and learned that he was our first
president, and his picture is on the dollar bill and quarter. This week we will learn about Abraham
Lincoln.
Have a great
week!
