Weekly Newsletter for October
23-27, 2017
This week in Reading, we are
continuing to discuss how animals can help people! We are identifying the characters and setting
within our story, “Big Blue Ox.” Our
test for this story will be Wednesday, October 25th! We will complete this test together while
discussing good test-taking strategies!
Our
spelling words for this week are: hot, hop, pot, pop, ox, lock, mop, got, rock,
and mom. Our challenge words are “help”
and “use.” The phonics focus skills for
this story are the short o, and the plural –s.
Please continue to practice these spelling words nightly with your
child! Our spelling test on these words
will also be Wednesday, October 25th!
In
Math, we are discussing how to identify and create numbers within a
ten-frame. We are also looking at the
relationship between 5 and 10 within the ten-frame. For example, “7” within the ten-frame is 5
with 2 more, or it can be 10 minus 3.
Our test on Topic 3 will be on Thursday, October 26th.
Please continue to
encourage your child to practice their reading at home! Document your child’s reading on their AR
paper that can be found in their OWL folder!
Students that complete the October AR paper (15 spaces or more) will
receive a Pizza Hut book-it coupon!
