Hi Parents,
This first month of school has flown by! The students are really learning a lot. In our math class, we are continuing to work on single-addition and subtraction, as well as two-digit addition with regrouping. We are also working on counting and adding coins. Please have your child look at your loose change around the house and ask them to name the coin and give you its value. Don’t forget to flip the coins because your child needs to recognize the backs of the coins as well. In Reading/Language Arts, we are working on words with the short “e,” synonyms, plural nouns, and consonant digraphs. I am also in the process of assessing reading levels so that we can start reading groups soon! Don’t forget to work with your child on his or her personalized sight words list. Make flash cards and practice the words each day. Don’t forget to read with your child each night. Reading to your child increases vocabulary and stimulates language development.
Thanks,
Kimberly Dickerson
