This month we will continue working on Unit 3 in our reading series. We will work on reading strategies such as identifying problem and solution, making inferences, using context clues, using schema, creating mental images, identifying cause and effect, and identifying and using synonyms and antonyms. These skills will help the students to better comprehend what they read. In grammar, we will continue to learn about parts of speech. We will focus on action verbs and present-tense and past-tense verbs. In phonics, we will be introduced to words with silent letters. We will also work on decoding and reading words with /ea/ (as in head) and /er/ (as in letter). Please continue to review papers that are sent home with your child each night in order to reinforce what was learned that day.
In math, we will continue working on two-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping. We will also study place value as we are introduced to the hundreds column in Topic 17 of our Math series. Please continue to practice addition and subtraction facts at home. The children will truly benefit from even just a few minutes of practice a day.The children are doing a great job reading their books for the Book in a Bag program. They seem to be really enjoying the stories. Please make sure your child returns their Book in a Bag on Friday so he or she can bring home a new book on the following Tuesday.
Have a wonderful month, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. You can reach me by clicking on the ‘e-mail me’ link below, or by calling the school at 629-0431.
