Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (week of February 6, 2017)

Reading: This week our story is “My Lucky Day” and we are talking about adventures.  We will also be looking at cause and effect in the story.   Our amazing words are: piglet, fox, lucky, filthy, cook, scrubber.  We will be reviewing action words (verbs). 

Math: Our new topic will be Topic 7, Understanding Addition.  We will be learning to join two groups and tell how many there are all together.  We will learn how to use the plus sign and the equal sign and learn about addition sentences.  Our new math words are: number story, join, plus sign, addition sentence.

Tips and Tricks:

Nightly- Please review sight words and read for the AR log.  The goal is at least 15 books a month.  If you need additional logs, please let us know.

Reading Skills- Please practice all letters, sounds, and words that begin with each letter.  You can take one word and do a lot with it, for example: cat- you can make the beginning sound, make all of the sounds, count syllables, and blend the sounds together to make the whole word.  You can also build vocabulary by seeing how many words you can use to describe the word.

Math Skills- Please practice counting to 100 by 1s, 5s, 10s, and practice counting to 30 by 2s.  Number writing is also a great skill to review to ensure there are no number reversals. 

*As always, we thank you for your participation and cooperation.  If you need more information or have any questions, please contact us.  Many Thanks!
