Dear Families:
Report cards
are just around the corner! We look
forward to meeting with you to celebrate your child’s successes and look at
ways we can further support their learning needs together.
What we are
learning:
Literacy - This week we will begin our next 5 words
on list 2 (out, as, be, have, go)
and our new phrases (we go out, I have a). Our reading strategy for the month of November
will be to look at the beginning sound of an unknown word and get our mouth ready
to say that sound. We will continue to
work on the sounds of “bossy R” / “R controlled vowels”: ar, or, ir, er, ur and
introduce the sounds for “oo” (look and school).
Math – The next focus will be working with number combinations,
looking at all the ways we can make a number (e.g. 6 can be 3 and 3, or 4 and 2, or 5 and 1, or
6 and 0). Also, we will be talking about
equal and unequal sets (balanced or not balanced).
You and Your World - We will introduce changes in our
community over time
