Week of October 1-5, 2018


Weekly Newsletter for October 1-5, 2018

            In Reading, we took our test for the story “Pig in a Wig.” Throughout this story we discussed who helps animals.  We focused on identifying the plot of the story.  We took our test on this story today!

            Our focus phonics skill was short I and consonant –x.  Our spelling words were six, lip, in, wig, it, did, mix, sit, pin, and fix.  Our challenge words were “she” and “take.”  We took our test on these spelling words today!

In Math, we are learning how to create, organize and represent mathematical ideas!  This week we will continue to work on identifying numbers using ten frames.  We will also introduce simple addition through “part, part, whole” mats.  The Unit 1 test for Math will be on Wednesday, October 3rd.
