This week we will be studying the sounds of p,i,l and a. Please review these when the pages come home in the Take-Home Folders. In Math we will be studying addition. Please review the pages and practice adding numbers to 9. As always read any book/story that interests your child.
We have begun learning about reading strategies that will help your child with comprehension. Ask them about these… Check for Understanding, Back Up and Reread, also Cross-Checking(do the pictures and words look right, sound right and make sense?) this strategy will help with accuracy.
The year is off to a great start! The girls and boys took a baseline test in reading to see what they remember from kindergarten. Overall the results were not too bad. They also completed a readiness test in math. Again, these results were right on target.
I hope you have a great week!
