Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is early release for teacher training.  Primary releases at 11:30!

No new spelling words this week.  With all the “activities” going on this week I felt it best to concentrate on the words already introduced that we are still having a hard time with.  We are working on ABC order to the second letter this week.

Math:  We will begin introducing subtraction to your kiddos while still moving forward with addition with three addends( 3 + 4 + 5 = 12).

Writing:  We are beginning to focus heavily on making sure our no-excuse words are spelled correctly in our writing.  Each student is at a different level of writing so the focus will be different for each kiddo.  Please ask your student what we have discussed them working on.  If you have questions please contact me!  Most of your kiddos are having a hard time with writing a story with a beginning, middle, and end.  They start off with a great beginning and then stop.  Please continue to discuss with your kiddo what makes a great story.  They know that they do not have to finish a story in one day or on one sheet of paper, they just need to tell everything they are thinking!!!

Science/Social Studies:  Your kiddos are busy planting seeds, dissecting owl pellets, and learning about American Symbols (Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty, Flag, etc…).

I am absolutely loving your kiddos and our time together!
