Next week we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss and Read Across America. Remember to read and keep track of your minutes for the Read-a-Thon. Math is becoming a bit of a challenge. We will be learning to add and subtract and solve for unknown addends. Any extra review and practice from math work that is sent home will be very beneficial for the students. Many students have been enjoying the extra fun math practice we sent home last week :) We are not collecting these. They are just for practice. Have fun and enjoy!
Also, please practice writing numbers 1-.20 and counting to 100 with your child. This will help them be more successful in math this quarter. Please encourage your child to read each day. They can even sign in to their RAZ Kids reading account online for extra practice. Each student has their own password and they are very familiar with doing this. Continued practice of popcorn words and writing a sentence at home will improve your child’s confidence in reading and writing. Below is an overview of what we will be learning in class next week.

SPELLING TEST WORDS: (where, went, at, up)
