Week of December 11-15, 2017

The holiday spirit is in full season. We are getting so excited, yet there is still so much learning to be done. We are trying our best to stay focused and meet our goals. Please remind your child each morning about the behavior goals that require students to earn 4 SPARTY stamps for the monthly reward.

Our Reading story is called “Little Quack.” This animal fantasy will focus on plot (The important things that guide a story). We will read about a duckling that learns new things as he gets older. This gives us the opportunity to discuss verbs that are happening now and in the past. The amazing words presented in the story are: duckling, pond, paddle, plunges, proud, and brave. The targeted sight words are: me, with, and she. (As always, remember to practice sight words daily.)

Our Phonics letter of the week is Rr. The /r/ sound, as in rabbit, will be the focus in our lessons with segmenting, blending, reading, and rhyming words.

Math: Six to Ten will be completed and tested this week. The students are required to count, read, and write the numbers 6-10. Remember to keep practicing correct number writing.

Reminders:
