Math: We will wrap up our unit on Addition, 0-10, and will have an assessment on using these strategies  (Using number lines, Manipulatives and Counting On) with their math facts. We will start our subtraction unit later this week. We will continue  playing fun games which encourage them to learn their addition facts. If you have time at home, please continue practicing with flashcards. As always, we will spiral back to number sense, place value and counting up and down by 10’s, for review.

Reading: This week we will continue exploring story elements: characters, setting, and story events. We will start to learn about and identify the problem and solution of stories this week. So, when reading at home, please ask your children to identify the problem and solution of their stories for review!

Writing: This week we will be writing about seasons! Students will get to write about their favorite seasons. This will accompany our science unit on the seasons this week.

Phonics: We will be working on “s-blends at the end of the word” words this week, i.e. must. Look for these, as always, in the Homework folder this week (on the left-hand side). Next week, we will review all of the new words that we have accumulated since the beginning of the year-l-blend, r-blend, and s-blend words.

S.T.E.M. We were able to really use our collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking skills this week! The students did a great job creating their weather instruments and we brought them to the Tritt garden yesterday so that we can observe them get to work! We will continue our unit on weather, focusing on the seasons this week before we move on to the water cycle next week.

Enjoy your LONG, Labor Day weekend with your sweet children! They were very excited discussing all of their respective plans 🙂
