Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! The kids came back excited to see friends and talk about their holiday break, and we are already back in the swing of things.
In Walk to Read, we will be continuing our study of long vowels (long o this week) in phonics. I am transitioning to more and more independent reading since these kids are ready for it! Please continue to ask students about what they read at home because reading comprehension is key!
In math, we are working on measurement and ALWAYS time, money, addition/subtraction, and number patterns. We will probably have our next test next week.
We are beginning a unit called "Earth and Sky" in science, so pointing out features of the earth and the sky would be helpful, specifically, landforms and the sun and moon, including the position of the sun and moon at different times of the day. We have already covered the reason for day and night on Earth, so ask your child what causes day and night. Next week we will discuss what causes the seasons.
Please let me know if you need anything and happy January!
