Dear Parents,
We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend with your family!
100 Days of School is just around the corner. Remember that Thursday, January 22nd is

Your child will be learning these words and reviewing older
words through various chants and activities.
Reading-The class
will begin reading Frog and Toad All Year by Arnold Lobel. We will be
identifying the problem of the story, continue exploring summarizing, retelling
a text in their own words, and answering questions about key details in the
text. You can help your child with these skills by asking him/her to retell a
page of a story or the entire story in his/her own words after reading it.
Writing- Students will recall information from experiences or gather
information from provided sources to answer a question. Also we will be working
with adjectives.
Math-
We will continue with Chapter 5, how addition and subtraction
are related and also how to identify and use related facts.
The class will be practicing skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s, up
to 120. Please help your child with skip counting by asking them to count
nightly. Your child is expected to be able to count to 120 forward and back by
1s.
