Weekly Newsletter for February 10-14, 2020

In Reading, we will begin our new story “The Big Circle.”  We will discuss how animal communities will work together to survive.  We will also discuss the sequence of a story!  Our high frequency words are: down, there, inside, together, and now. 

            Our focus phonics skills for this story are the long O sound and contractions.  Our spelling words are home, hope, rose, woke, those, bone, hose, joke, rode and smile.  Our challenge words are: “there” and “together.”

            In Math, we will review representing a number using base-ten blocks, using a number line to solve an addition or subtraction sentence, and identifying ten more or ten less of the given number.  Our test for Unit 4 will be early next week!
