1. A Peek At The Week
-In reading we are continuing to switch to our leveled reading groups. Students should be bringing home daily reading homework. Look for the yellow RMSE page!
-During math we will begin to look at doubles (1+1=2, 2+2=4…), look for patterns between addition sentences with similar parts and similar totals, and begin to look at subtraction problems.
-This week during writing we will create a 4 Star story about activities we like to do with a friend! Stories will include neat handwriting, finger spaces, capitals, periods, and a neat illustration. We will also get to write a creative story about things we notice in the Fall!
-During our Core Knowledge time we will finish up our unit on Animals and Habitats. This week students will learn about the fresh water and salt water habitats. We will also discuss habitat destruction and endangered species. Students will get to end the unit by picking their favorite habitat to create a habitat plate.
Homework Ideas
-Please take time to read with your child every night for minutes.
-Continue work on the number bond sprints that come home each day. If kiddos have bonds circled they can fix it and bring it back the next day!
