Week of January 14-18, 2019

Weekly Newsletter for January 14- 18, 2019

          In Reading, we will begin our new story, “The Farmer in the Hat.”  We will discuss how a school is a community as well as revisit the skill of cause and effect.  Our high frequency words for this story are: could, be, old, paper, of, and horse.

 

            Our focus phonics skills are the long a sound and consonants c/s/ and g /j/. Our spelling words are face, made, age, safe, make, take, cage, cake, late, and name.  Our challenge words are “could” and “old.” 

            In Math, we will continue to focus on place value!  This week, we will work on building numbers with tens and ones as well as showing different ways to show a number (digit, tens and ones, written form and expanded form). 

            In your child’s B.E.E. folder, you will see a “Math Fact” envelope.  We have been working VERY hard on our math facts.  Students will continue to add flashcards to their envelope.  Please continue to practice these facts with your child at home!
