Good morning!

Happy Tuesday!  Here is the rundown of our week:

We will start working out of our spelling book this week.  We will spend the first week doing pages that get us thinking and used to using the workbook.  We will dive in to the "meat" of the subject after that.  You will not see these workbooks come home.  You will see some parent letters come home at the end of the unit.  More on that later...

We are starting sight word week 8.  The lightning word sheets and the word cards will be coming home today.

In math we will be exploring area and weight.  We will continue our work on greater than and less than, and I will introduce number stories that involve finding differences.

Our reading story this week is called "Let's Camp Out."  It's the perfect weather for a camping story don't you think????  We will be reviewing contractions, working on vocabulary and comprehension, and talking about possessives.

We are continuing with centers this week.  These are fast becoming a class favorite.  Some of our centers will continue our work on contractions and will reinforce what we are doing in math.  I will be working with the reading groups this week (now that we have an idea of how centers are supposed to run) and we will be working hard on increasing our fluency and comprehension skills.

Next week.....Gumball Math!!

Have a terrific week!
