Busy Mid Week

Thursday = B Friday = C

We had a great middle of the week, today! We have spent the last few days reviewing short /i/. Ask your child to tell you what the short /i/ says (remind them that the short /i/ gets grossed out a lot-that will help them remember its sound!). We have been reading a story in our books called "Miss Jill". Ask your child to tell you about this non-fiction story. We are also working hard on at writing complete sentences. Have your child review the ingredients for a complete sentence. You may even want to challenge them by having them write 3 sentences with this week's spelling words.

In math we are working hard on "take away subtract". I have included a YouTube video below of one of our favorite subtraction songs, "When You Subtract With a Pirate". Test your child's memory to see if they can tell you what a "difference" is. Do they remember what a "sum" is? We continue to work on measuring with non-standard units, too. Try to use words at home such as "taller" and "smaller" to compare sizes of objects.

In science, we did some magic to complete our ocean art habitats! Have your child tell you about their project. They are drying overnight and will be on display later in the week. Come see our ocean wonders!

Don't forget that the fundraiser packets are due back, whether you sold items or not. Please bring your packets back to school as soon as possible.

Thank you so much! Have a great night with your family.
