A Peek At Our Weeks
Math: We are coming to the end of Unit 1 in our Math Investigations program. We anticipate switching for math starting early October. More information will be forth coming.
Language Arts: Our upcoming theme is "how people and things grow and change". We will work as a whole class and in small groups to reinforce comprehension skills such as: identifying beginning, middle and end, sequencing events, comparing and contrasting, and text to self connections.
Phonics: We will continue to identify short and long vowel sounds as well as blending words in order to become better readers and writers.
