Week of November 11-15, 2019

Weekly Newsletter for November 11-15, 2019

          In Reading, we will begin our next story, “Animal Park.”  Throughout this story, we will discuss what we can learn from watching wild animals.  Our high frequency words are: home, many, them and into. 

            Our focus phonics skills for this story are short u and final consonant blends.  Our spelling words are crust, bump, jump, must, just, dust, trust, dusk, hunt, and lump.  Our challenge words are “many” and “into.” 

            In Math, we will begin Unit 3.  Throughout this unit, we will dive deeper into understanding addition and subtraction.  This week, we will focus on creating fact families, and solving word problems! In your child’s B.E.E folder, you will see a “Math Facts” envelope.  Please review these flash cards with your child periodically to continue to build fluency of math facts!  Please keep these in the B.E.E. folder, as we will be adding more flash cards throughout the year and using these in our centers!  Thank you!
