In Language Arts, the students have been learning important reading strategies. Ask your child about…Check for Understanding-this is when we stop reading after a few pages and try to remember what we have read so far. If we are not sure then we Back Up and Reread. Using the Pictures on each page will lead to understanding as well.


Another strategy we will review for this week will be Cross Checking for Accuracy. When we come upon a word that we are not sure of, after we attempt to sound it out, we ask ourselves, (1) Does is look right? (2) Does it sound right? (3) Does it make sense?


For Math, we will be finding new ways to think about addition. The lessons are ways to make 6, 7, 8 and 9. Please take a look and examine any errors on the pages that come home in the Take-Home Folder.


In Science we will discuss tools, materials and questioning that scientists use.


Don’t Forget! Reading any material that interests your child is excellent.

**Review Friday Folder material. Return Folders on Monday!**

I hope you have a delightful week!

Monday will be Day 10>Book Exchange
