Dear
Families:

 

Thank
you very much for taking the time to visit with your child’s teacher.  We appreciate your dedication as we work
together to support your child in meeting their learning goals.  

 

 What
we are learning:

 

Literacy - This week we will review all
20 words on list 5 and we will continue to work on compound words. The reading
strategy that we will focus on for the month of April is flipping the vowel
sound: when you have read a word and you know it doesn’t sound right or make
sense, think about the other sound that vowel in the word could make and flip
the sound!

 

Math – We will continue to work on “Fact
Families” this week. (Ex: 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5-2=3, 5-3=2)

 

You and Your World – This month we will be
discussing ways that we can all be earth helpers to care for our beautiful
planet!
