Here’s what we are working on!
Letterland
Unit 3: Endings: ff, ing, ll, ng and ss
This week students will learn about more open and closed syllables: a, i and u.
Examples of this week’s words:
grass thing stuff smell�
When practicing Letterland with your child, please focus on practicing the skill, not memorizing the words. All words on each list will follow the weekly pattern. Have your student read and re-read his/her spelling list for fluency.
Reading
We will start the 2nd unit of our EL module. This unit focuses on nonfiction text. We are reading about schools around the word and challenges some children face with going to school.
Math
We will work on using a variety of strategies to add and subtract within 100.
Science
The students will continue learning about the properties of matter and the changes they undergo.
Positivity Project
Optimism
You plan ahead and make careful choices. You set goals and work hard daily to achieve them.
