Week of October 28th

Reading

Book: Animal Babies in Grasslands – We will be learning what grasslands are, where they can be found, and what animals can be found there. We will also be learning about what we call the babies of those animals. As part of our learning, we will discuss what some adult animals do for their babies and compare that to what adult people do for their babies.

 Target Skill: Main Idea (what the story is mostly about)

 Amazing Words: grassland, calf, foal, pup, cub, joey

Phonological Awareness: Pp says /p/ penguin

Sight Words: we, my, like   (Please practice at home. All of the words your child is expected to know at this point are: I, am, the, little, to, a, have, and is)

Math

We will be starting Ch. 4 this week.  Students should now be able to count, read, write, and draw to show numbers 1-9. We will continue to practice if a number is greater or less than another number. Chapter 4 will focus on representing and comparing numbers to ten.

Book Fair

This week is the Book Fair. We will be going on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Please put all money in an envelope or baggie labeled “Bookfair” with your child’s name. You may choose to send in money for your child to choose whichever book they want, or you may send in money along with a list or note regarding which books they are allowed to buy. It is very helpful if you can give some guidance! J You can check out the book fair online also at scholastic.com/bookfairs.

Cold Weather
Now that the weather is getting colder, please make sure to dress your child appropriately. We will be going outside still. It is important that you label all coats, hats, etc. with your child’s name. Many items look similar and students do not always remember what they brought. I already have one jacket that does not have a name and no student has claimed. Please let me know if you are missing one.
