The week of Aug. 30

 I hope you all had a great weekend!  Hopefully it's not so hot this week.  We will plan on going outside for both recesses, so please make sure to send water bottles.  

Our ELA-(English Language Arts)/Social Studies unit will be on Community Helpers.  We will have fun finding out what they do, what they use, what they need, and how they are beneficial to our community.  At the end of our unit your child will get to choose what community helper they would like to dress up as.  They will get to bring in supplies that their community helper would use or need for their job.  An informative note will be sent home next week!

Math--We are continuing with Addition for a couple more weeks.  Using real life addition is helpful for your child to understand the concept.  Such as counting how many forks and plates are on the table and making it into an addition problem.  We will add up to the answer 10. 

When working on addition facts at home, begin with adding 1 to numbers up to 9, then work on adding 2 to numbers up to 9, etc.

Homework:  Please make sure to have your child do any homework with a pencil.  We only write with pencils here and it keeps them in the habit.  The HW turned in looks great!  I appreciate you making sure your child wrote the numbers the correct way.  If your child forgot their folder or didn't get to the homework, please turn it in by Wednesday.  Thank you!

Heart words!  Words you have to learn by heart and can't be sounded out. 

We still have these heart words for another week!  We aren't taking spelling tests at this time, but it will only help your child to learn and spell the words in their sentences, if they are practiced.  We are doing different activities spelling them and reading them.  However you can help at home, will help them even more!  :) :). Thanks!
