week of May 1, 2017

Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (Week of May 1, 2017)

Math: Our new topic is, Topic 13.  Our topic essential question is: What are different ways objects can be grouped?  We will identify same and different by the attributes of color, size, and shape.  We will sort the same set in different ways.  We will solve problems by thinking logically and make and read a real picture graph.

Reading: Our new story is Building With Dad and it is a book that we will use to focus on comparing and contrasting.  We will be looking at how a school is built and revisit the important story elements of: character, setting, cause/effect, sequencing, and main idea.

Handwriting/Writing:  We will work on writing words that we can spell.  We will practice sight words, CVC words, and words we use a lot.  We will also be working on missing letters in the alphabet and all the sounds the letters make.  We will continue our sentence dictation and staying on topic while writing.

***Please continue to review all letters, sounds, numbers, counting patterns, as well as sight words.  Also, please continue to read each night and complete the AR book log as the goal is at least 15 books a month.

***Please also remember to pack a snack each day for your child.  If they would like a drink, please pack that as well.  Thank you!
