Language Arts
This week we will focus on the letter shapes of Qq, Rr, Ss, and Tt
New sight words: he, she
For the next two weeks we will be learning, reading, and writing about pumpkins. As you probably know the kids are super excited for our pumpkin patch field trip. This week we will learn about how pumpkins grow, and next week we will conduct some experiments using our pumpkins. It should be fun!

Math
This week we will begin our next chapter on numbers 6-10. We will be practicing counting objects up to 10, ordering numbers to 10, comparing numbers to 10, and writing numbers to 10. We are working very hard on not reversing numbers when writing.

Need parent hours? If anyone would like a project to take home, I have something for you! Come by room 4.

Thanks for reading, everyone! Have a fabulous weekend.
