Dear Family,
Phonics /
Spelling:
This week the students will be introduced to new spellings of
long vowels: Long vowel ‘o’ spelled oe
and ow, long ‘u’ spelled ue and ew, and long ‘i’ spelled final y and ie.
The red
words for this week are should, would, could, does, and very,
Ask your child to sing the song we sing to help us spell
should, would and could!
Math:
On last Friday’s math test many students struggled with the
question, “How many socks, vs. how many pairs.”
This has been taught intensely in class , however it is still difficult
for the students to understand. This is
an easy concept to reinforce at home with laundry placing shoes away in the
closet, etc.
This week we will practice adding 2-digit numbers together
(without regrouping) using dimes and pennies as if we were buying items in a
grocery store.
Social
Studies:
We will read about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will also
introduce Ruby Bridges and Rosa Parks. Ruby
Bridges was the 6 year old girl who was the first child to attend an all-white
school in New Orleans in 1960. The
students should be able to relate to Ruby since she was their same age at this
time in her life.
Science:
Although
we had the best intentions, we have not begun penguins. We will begin this unit at the end of the
week.
Important
Notes:
The
Christmas Program DVD’s are ready for purchase in the office!
This Friday is
a delayed start day! School begins at
9:25!
January
29th – 100th Day of school!
