Drippy Mid Week Report

What a wet Wednesday! I think the kids are ready for this rain to stop for a while. We miss our playground! We have stayed busy getting back into our routine but this rainy weather is making us a little sleepy.
We worked hard in our book clubs today. Has your child been practicing their spelling words? Don't forget that our test is on Friday. We are focusing on the o_e pattern this week. Today we also learned about adding the endings -er and -est to describing words. Ask your child to tell you something that is SMALL, SMALLER and SMALLEST. Use different adjectives and see if your child can add these endings to different words.
In math, we are continuing to work on our automatic recall of addition and subtraction facts. We are reviewing fact families, but I could sure use your help at home. Ask your child to give you 3 numbers that would be in the same fact family (for example: 3, 4, 7). Have them write four eqations that they can build with that number family (two +, two -).
We learned about our friend Roy G. Biv this week. Have your child tell you about this colorful guy. We also learned about the famous painter Georges Seurat. See if your child remembers the way this artist made his creations.

Have a cozy night! Stay dry and practice those spelling words.
