Week of March 12-16, 2018

Reading: “Abuela” is the story we will be reading this week. This fantasy story is about a little girl and her grandmother exploring a big city. The Spanish language will be introduced throughout the story. To build comprehension we will be identifying the setting in stories. The amazing words presented are: abuela, flock, airport, adventure, city, and harbor. The sight words to focus on are: here, go, and from. We will also discuss using the pronouns I and me in sentences. Rhythm and rhyme will be taught in poems.

Phonics:  Our letter of the week is  Ee. We will continue learning the initial and medial /e/ sounds in words.

Math: Topic 8 is introduced this week. The theme is “Understanding Subtraction.” We will use stories to separate, take away, and compare groups. The minus sign will also be presented.

Reminders:

~Report cards will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign and return only the envelope. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

~ The PTO is holding a Basket Auction on April 8^th and 9^th. “Cold Drinks” is our basket theme.  We are asking for donations to create a prize. Any item related to enjoying a cold drink may be placed in this category. (Papers were sent home for suggestions. Please contact me if you need any further clarification). If you prefer, monetary donations will also be accepted to purchase these items. Each student who brings a donation to school will be able to dress down for free on April 6th. Thank you for your support!

~ Please remember to continue practicing sight words daily. Also practice writing sentences with a capital letter at the beginning, finger spaces between words, and a punctuation mark at the end.

Enjoy your week!
