Our new letter is Nn like in Nest.  We will continue to review letter sounds and use them to blend words in the word list.  If you have any questions/concerns about the blending or the word list, feel free to let us know.

Our new Reading Story is “Armadillos Orange” which is fiction.  We will also be talking about animals that live in an orange grove and comparing different types of animal environments.  The KWL Chart that we used with Life in an Ocean was completed with the help of everyone in class!

In Math, we will be reviewing shapes, numbers 0-10, and aspects of the calendar.  We have already introduced a penny and its value, but feel free to talk about other coins and their values at home or in the community. 

We also celebrated Red Ribbon week and the “Just Say No” campaign.  We had our lesson with Ms. Rowland on Thursday.
