The days are getting closer to the end of the year, but we are staying busy. In Math, we are continuing to practice our addition and subtraction fluency. You should see how amazing we are getting at knowing our facts. We continue to work with our teen numbers and look for the ten and extra ones in them. We will be wrapping up our last chapter in math in the next couple weeks and will end with exploring weight, height, and capacity.
In Reading, we are continuing to learn the rest of the letters with help from our Superkids. It is neat to see what activity each SuperNoodle comes up with. This week Icky is our Super Noodle and he is having the Superkids put on a play called "The Glum Princess." We will be reading the play and at the end acting it out. Stay tuned for pictures of that. This week we have been working on the letters Kk and Qu qu and have learned the blend "ck". Today we will start learning the letter Jj. Please keep practicing your child's star words and guided reading books. We are really focusing on blending all our sounds and then going back to read with fluency.
In Writing, we are thinking up make-believe stories that have the main character one that we have thought of with our imagination.
In Science, we are beginning our Einstein kit- Balls and Ramps. We are brainstorming different types of balls and how they move.
