Homework for the Week:

Next week in Phonics, we will be learning the letter “Xx”. The sound for the letter is like at the end of the word, “Fox.” We will also be have a treasure hunt this week like pirates do when they are looking on a treasure map for “X marks the spot”. There will be no show and tell this week.
In Reading, our new story is called “If You Could Go to Antarctica” and it will continue our unit on “adventures”. The key concept question will be about places your adventures can take you. We will practice working on nonfiction and earth science concepts as well as classifying and categorizing.
In Math, we will practice our counting by 5’s and counting nickels to $.50. We will also be exploring addition and subtraction sentences. Please continue to review counting to 100 by 1’s and 10’s.
