Next week, we will be learning about Pilgrims and their voyage to the new land. In Math, we will be focusing on addition story problems. By the way, I am SOOO thrilled with how quickly the students are picking up on addition. Many are soaring through rocket math! In Writing next week, we will be focusing on writing amazing beginnings and ending stories with feeling! We will also practice some persuasive writing by reading the story "The Plump and Perky Turkey" and convincing the audience to eat something other than turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
Make sure to ask your students about the reading strategies we are working on at school! When we get to a tricky word, we get our mouth ready to say the first sound (Lips the Fish), and we can say the word slowly and stretch it out (Stretchy Snake.) You can use these strategies at home too as you're reading with your child!
Have a happy, happy, happy weekend!!
