First Grade-
In Math we will begin our unit on money. The students will make a piggy bank and large replicas of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter using the Touch Math program for counting coins. This is a great strategy to use as children learn to count money. It emphasizes counting by 5's, so please continue to practice skip counting by 5's to 100 with your children at home or as you are driving around town!
In Reading we will continue working with our sight words and also the sound of short 'o' in the middle of three letter words. The students will have fun reading short 'o' words as they write them on 'popcorn' and toss them in the bag. We will also read a book titled Jobs and use highlighting tape to find more short 'o' words.
Second Grade-
In Reading we will create a 'story house' to help us in sequencing the events of the stories we read during guided reading. We will be reviewing all of the short vowel sounds this week in our spelling unit.
In math we will begin adding two digit numbers. We will use base 10 manipulatives to practice adding larger numbers. Please practice counting by 5's with your child as you are driving in your car or while you are preparing dinner!
Third Grade-
We are excited to begin a new book this week in our book club! We will be reading Earthquake in the Early Morning as we enjoy another adventure with Jack and Annie. ! Our vowel pattern this week is short 'i'. I am very proud of the way the children are studying their spelling words each week!
In math we will begin subtracting three and four digit numbers using regrouping. The students will use base 10 models and mats to find a new way to solve subtraction of larger numbers.
