October brings the start of our weekly spelling words and Friday Test. A letter will be coming home with your child on Monday, October 5th explaining the weekly words. I will list the spelling words in the homework section below.
Math: We continue to work on Topic 2 which is all about the many ways additon and subtraction can be represented.
Reading Workshop: Last week we book shopped for "Just Right" books. We are working on building our independent reading stamina. This week we will start our "Stong Readers..." strategy work. The focus will be on what strong readers do before they read to get their brain ready to read and understand the story. Reading=Thinking!
Spelling/Phonics/Skill: This week we will focus on the sound and spelling of short a words. The 5 core words are: at, can, and, has, fast.
Writing Workshop: Parent Helpers start this week! We are happy to have volunteers on Mondays and Tuesdays in October, November and December. It will be great to have another 'expert' on hand to assist our writers with handwriting, grammar, idea development and some editing. We are working on writing Small Moment/Personal Narrative stories.
