Reading: “Jack and the Beanstalk” is the modern fairy tale that we will be reading this week. This fun story helps us further understand the difference between realism and fantasy. We will also point out realism and fantasy in some Thanksgiving stories this week.

Phonics: We are practicing beginning, middle, and final sounds in words. (For example: the word cat has 3 sounds: /k/, /a/, /t/. Please review all letters and their corresponding sounds with your child to see where they might be having difficulty.

Math: Numbers 11-20 are still the focus of our lessons. We are learning how to read, write, count, and represent these numbers. Another skill we are practicing is counting forward and backward on a number line. Please take some time to review this skill at home, along with counting to 100.

Reminders:

~We try to get outside for recess as often as possible. Please be sure to have your child wear a heavy coat to school. Also practice having your child put their coat on and zip or button it closed.
