Dear
Families:

 

 Happy
first week of spring! See how many signs of spring you and your child can
observe over the coming weeks!





 

What
we are learning:

 

Literacy - This week we begin the second
group of five words of List 5 (want, don’t, how, know, right).  The reading strategy that we will focus on
for the month of March is skipping the unknown word and reading on to the end
of the sentence before going back to reread. 


 

Math – We will continue to learn
subtraction strategies to 3 (-0, -1, -2, -3).

 

You and Your World – March is Nutrition
Month!  Have your child help pack a
healthy lunch and snack for school each day. 






 

 Information
Items/Dates to Remember:

 

 ·        
Report
cards go home on April 3rd. Parent teacher interview times and the
book fair will also be held that week. Stay tuned for more details.


·        
There
will be no school on Monday, April 10th due to parent teacher
interviews and teacher professional development activities.

 

 
 

 Homework

 

·        
List
5 words and phrases – review each night.

 

·

·        
For
report card time, an important focus for assessment in math will be:

 

counting forward and backward from 50,
counting by 2s to 20 and counting by 5s and 10s to 50.   Please
practice these skills daily
!





 

 As
always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me
at school, send a note in your child’s communication bag, or send an e-mail.
