Reading
We are working on rhyming skills, understanding stories, and improving reading skills in small groups.
I am starting an individualized sight word program. Each child will receive a list of 5 sight words they are working on recognizing. I have also posted a menu of activities to give you ideas for keeping practice interesting. Each Monday there will be time for children to test on to the next list b reading current and previous lists. I hope the continuous practice both in and out of school will greatly improve their word recognition and thus their reading ability. The words being sent home make up to 50% of common reading material so it aids in the reading fluency.
Weekly Sight Words Practicing sight words is important because they are the most frequent words used. It will help your child read easier and faster when they know these words.
Math
We have begun studying addition and will be learning subtraction before winter break.
Social Studies and Science
We have learned about mountains and volcanoes, and we are moving on to plains, rivers, oceans, and lakes.
