 In Reading, we’ll read Messenger, Messenger. In this story, Calvin Curbhopper leaves his studio apartment with his bike on his shoulder. By eight a.m., he's made his first delivery and embarked on a crazy routine of carrying urgent business packages through traffic, tunnels, parking lots and dangerous neighborhoods. He doesn't slow down until after nightfall, when he rides home. We will discuss transportation jobs. Students will learn about comparing and contrasting. Please be sure to review your Family Times when it comes home next week.

In Phonics, we will begin learning begin long vowels. The rule for long vowels is if the vowel is followed by anything other than a consonant then it is long (we code it with a macron.) Examples- he, me, she.

In Math students will identify and match equivalent sets, and identify doubles. Students will also practice “some, some more” problems. Please practice identification of pennies, nickels, and dimes, along with their values, at home. A lot of students are struggling with this concept. We also introduce the quarter this week.
