Reminders: Students are kindly asked to keep personal items such as toys, makeup and electronics at home.

 

Please apply sunscreen or bug spray in the morning before arriving at school. Students are welcome to re-apply their own sunscreen if needed but we ask that bug spray not be sent to school.  

 

Math:

We are working on estimation strategies and working with a calendar this week in math. We will continue to review adding and subtracting with regrouping.

 

Literacy:

This week we are looking “le” is at the end of a word. Every syllable needs a vowel. So, if you hear 'l' at the end of a word and you can't hear a vowel sound, most commonly you will use 'al' or 'le'. You use 'le' if it is a part of the word (e.g., little, candle).

 

Word Work

Table - saddle - settle - meddle - puzzle - simple

 

Heart Words

people – been – forty - there - their

 

 

Thanks!

Literacy

 

This week, we will be looking at “long VCC - ild, -old, -ind, -olt, -ost”. Typically, VCC patterns are closed syllables because the consonants “close in” the vowel. The vowel typically makes it short sound.

Weather

I know the weather has been very unpredictable but please try to send your child with everything they need for outside. There is snow on the playground so students need boots, snow pants or splash pants, mittens, hat and a coat. Some students were very unprepared for the cold temperatures this week. We will continue to go outside three times a day. Thank you.

Math:Double digit subtraction worksheet.

 

Math Homework:This week, students have a double-digit subtraction math sheet. We have been working on this concept for a few weeks. It is very important that students start with the ones/units with each question.

Literacy 

In literacy this week we are reviewing ou and ow sounds.  "ou" for the /ow/ sound is usually at the beginning or in the middle of the word and “ow” for ow is usually at the end.

 

“ou”

out – couch – mouse – loud – about - house

 

“ow” 

cow – now – how – brow- sow - vow

 

Exceptions when N or L follow the ow, it is in the middle of a word.

Ex: down – town – crown – frown
