What Are We Learning This Week?:

Sight Words: THERE, WHERE, THEY, THEN, THEM.

Letter Team:  EY (makes two sounds - EE like in KEY, and AY like in THEY) 

Reading: For the next two weeks, we will read books about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Writing:  We will write all about George Washington this week. We will also continue working on narrative (stories about our lives) and opinion pieces.

Math: This week, we will continue to work on number bonds and we will also begin working on place value (tens and ones). Next week, I will begin my end of the trimester assessments. Make sure to keep practicing all math skills with your child, as they will be assessed on their counting, shapes, measurement, place value, addition and subtraction, composing and decomposing.  Thank you for practicing and reinforcing these skills at home! 

Leadership: We will continue to ROAR and discuss what it means to have a growth mindset!
