In Language Arts, we have added to our reading strategies… The new strategies 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? Another strategy is Tune Into Interesting Words to Expand our Vocabulary. This is exactly what it sounds like, find and read interesting words.

We will be building our stamina for group work. By the end of the week we will be up to reading 6 minutes with a partner or to ourselves. Building our writing stamina will be up to 12 minutes.

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

Homework is to read any material with your child, at least once a day.

I hope you have a delightful week!

Monday will be Day 10>Art Class
