Week of January 9-13, 2017

Reading: This week we will enjoy an animal fantasy called “Farfallina and Marcel.” This touching story about a duckling and a caterpillar helps the students understand how some animals change as they grow. The story uses plot identification as the skill to enhance comprehension.

Phonics: Ff  is the letter of the week. The initial and final /f/ sound will be practiced, as in the words fountain and leaf.

Math: Topic 5 Begins this week. This topic explores the numbers to 20.  The students will be counting, reading, and writing the numbers 11 through 20.

Reminders:

~Students should be ready to present their dinosaur reports on Tuesday, 1/10.

~ Wednesday, January 11^th is a two-hour Data Delay!

~ Monday will be Day 1 on the rotation schedule. Wear gym clothes!

~ Please continue to practice sight words, counting to 100, and writing 0-20.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and have a fantastic week!
