September 10-14

On Monday, we will begin our 2nd Reading story, We Are So Proud. We will work on recognizing the letters Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm. and Nn.  Continue to read at home, talk about story characters (who the story is about) and setting (where and when the story takes place), and read the high frequency words I and am.

Word list 1 (I, a, and, the to) will be checked during the upcoming week by Friday, 9/14 and if all words are read correctly, then Word List 2 will be tested next.  If more time is needed with list one, then List 1 words will be checked again the following week before List 2.  Continue to practice sight words daily!!

In math, we are reading, writing and counting numbers 1-5.

Boys and girls have been doing a Super Job with their AR “Book Buddy” books. Remember, any books your child and you read together at home can be recorded on the monthly reading log .
