Week of October 11

Happy Columbus Day! I hope everyone had a nice day off! :) Ask your children about Christopher Columbus and have them show you the map they took home to name the continents and show you what Columbus did and what he discovered!

This week is Fire Prevention week. On Wednesday we will be doing centers with the fire men! I think it will be fun!

We are officially in Unit 2 of our Reading Street Curriculum. Your children should now be able to read all the sight words from unit 1 on the green sheet I sent home.

Our focus skills this week are the -sh and -th digraphs at the beginning and ending of words. We will also be talking about the -all sound. The High Frequency Words are catch, good, no, put, and want. We will also be learning about nouns.

In math we will be continuing to count money with nickels and pennies, as well as solving basic addition and subtraction story problems. We will be taking our unit 2 test on Thursday to assess these skills.

We will continue to talk about Columbus and Eric Carle.

Let's have a fabulous four day week!
