Week of April 12

Our new story in Reading this week is Max Takes the Train. We will talk about forms of transportation. We will also continue to discuss fiction and nonfiction.

In Math we will begin Chapter 11 Addition. In this chapter we will learn to join two groups to find out how many in all. We will also read and complete additon sentences.

We finished learning all letters and sounds in Phonics. This week will begin learning the long vowel rule. A vowel not followed by a consonant is long; code it with a macron. Please continue to practice word lists coming home. There will be no show and tell this week.

FYI – Names of the participants of The Read-at-Home Challenge (I’m a Reader! Contracts) from Newspaper in Education Week will be published in the Republican & Herald newspaper on Tuesday, April 13th.

On Wednesday, April 14th and Thursday, April 15th Kindergarten will visit the Cleveland Museum via Distance Learning Videoconference in the LGI room. Boys and girls will learn about “The Senses”. Be sure to ask your child what he/she experienced!!!
