Helps the year
to start off rightJanuary is a busy month in the Resource Center. The first graders will be finishing book 3 this month. They will decode and read words with short vowels and blends.
They will continue to learn many new sight words this month. Please practice reading vocabulary and spelling words each night. Please read with your child for ten minutes each night. Reading aloud with your child is one of the best ways to create a love for reading in your child. It will expand your child's vocabulary and is a wonderful way to share the joy of reading. The child who develops a love for reading gains a lifelong desire to read and learn.In math we are finishing Chapter 5. We will explore sorting and recording data as well as making and reading simple graphs in Chapter 6. We will continue to work on addition and subtraction facts. Please practice facts at home.
The second graders have completed Unit 2 and took their assessment test. In Unit 3 they will be learning many new skills such as, making predictions about characters and using inflectional endings- s, es, and ed. We will continue to add to our sight vocabulary. Parents can help by reviewing vocabulary and spelling words daily.
Please remember to check your child's assignment book each day. It is a great way to keep communication between school and home. It is also important to check their folder each day. Looking over your child's schoolwork each day gives you an opportunity to learn what is happening at school. Going over schoolwork with your child demonstrates that you think school is important and that you value your child's efforts at school. Working together we can help your child achieve their full potential
