It is the first week in October and there is a chill in the air.
I am happy to announce we have a new student named Kaden. I know the students will make him feel welcomed and help him learn the routine.
In math, we are continuing to work on adding with proof drawings, and checking with an addition problem. We will do the same with subtraction, using proof drawings so they know where and why they are ungrouping or borrowing from. Then we will check our answers with a subtraction problem. We are also working on how to solve word problems.
In reading, we are continuing to focus on the character(s) and their traits, how characters change, and comparing two characters.
In writing, we are continuing to write about small moments and working on how we are all story tellers.
The high frequency words this week are: saw, something, thought, both.
Please continue to help your child be successful by reading, practicing facts, and doing their spelling sorts on a daily basis. If one day is busy, do extra on another day. I don't need to know what they are reading, just the time that they spent on each activity.
Important reminders:
