It was great to spend a whole week with your children!
Reading: We continue to love reading the Mo Willems books. We wrote about whether or not we would let the pigeon drive the bus. (8 said yes, 6 said no and we had one maybe!) Then we imagined other things the Pigeon should not be able to do. Come in and see this great writing! After reading the pigeon books, we enjoyed reading Knuffle Bunny. We could all relate to that story. So many of them had stories of losing something important to them that we decided to write about that, too! Those stories will be shared with you at conferences.
Writing: We are reviewing narrative writing and continue to work on opinion writing. We are also focusing on using correct letter formation and punctuation. Keep practicing those sight words!
Math: We are working on number writing and groups of 10. Our main focus is on number sentences. We are practicing writing addition number sentences on our own and writing subtraction number sentences together. Obviously calendar time is very exciting as we get closer and closer to our 100th day of school!
