Weekly Update Dec. 2-6,2019
Important information: We will begin learning about Folktales this week. The Gingerbread Man is our theme for the tales. If you have any, please send them in so we can compare and contrast the stories!

We are not beginning a new text book story this week, so there will not be a new spelling list tonight. Continue to practice reading the H.F.W. lists each night. (Blue notebook) Also, there may be some leveled reading books coming home for extra practice with your child. These books are intended to give your child more practice on their current success level. Five minutes of reading usually will be all that they need. Contact me if you have any questions.

We have been learning these sound chunks over the past 13 weeks; so, to make reading more interesting, pick out 3 to find in the story that they read to you each night. * ee, ea, sh, ch, th, ck, ng, oo, ow, oa, ai, ay, or, er, y, a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e

We are working on addition and subtraction with Fact Families, in Unit 3. We will continue to work on subtraction from 9 in spring math.

Monday (Day ) No school

Tuesday (Day 1) Computer class; read the H.F.W., have your child read to you and have them retell 3 important facts about the story (what happened at the beginning, middle and end)

Wednesday (Day 2) Phys.Ed. class; read the H.F.W., have your child read to you, name the characters, setting (where the story mostly takes place), was the story real, made-up but could happen, or make believe

Thursday (Day 3) Music class; read to your child so they hear fluency and expression

Friday (Day 4) Art class; Practice reading over the weekend and practice sub. from 9
*Please check the Friday Folder for important papers to keep; then sign and date the front sheet of the folder. Send the folder back to class the next school day.

I hope your week is stress-free!
