Mrs. Parham & Mrs. Pickard’s Newsletter September 11, 2015 Special Announcements : Thank you for being so supportive as we begin our year together! We’re off to a great start! What We’re Learning : Reading and Language: This week we worked on listening skills, continued making connections, using our 6 box organizer, and working on our story elements. We will continue these for weeks to come. Writing: We are revisiting capital letters, punctuation, and complete sentences before we move into narratives. Math: This week we have been reviewing a multitude of addition and subtraction concepts. We are using ten frames to add to 10. We added the 100’s board and more with 10 more, 10 less, 1 more and 1 less. Word Study: This week we worked on nouns, verbs, and began with adjectives. We will be continuing with these as we add synonyms, antonyms, in the coming weeks. @ Rachel Thorp 2013
