We will continue the activities with the letter expert groups. Thanks to everyone who sent in items that begin with your child's expert letter. This week we will focus more on the sounds these letters make and practice making words with them.
We will also continue with oral blending of word parts. The kids love this and are very good at it!
Writing: We will work on journal writing, writing sentences for a friendship book, and we will begin working on a paragraph about how to make breakfast.
Math:
We are continuing the chapter on graphing. So far the kids love collecting data and turning it into a graph. Please watch for lots of this in our homework!

Language Arts
This week we will begin a new unit titled "Finding Friends", during which we will read all about making friends, how to be a good friend, and what happens when friends don't get along. If your child has any books at home that go with this theme, they are welcome to bring them to school. Please label with your child's name.
In this unit we will start to focus on letter sounds and orally putting parts of words together (blending). The kids love this, and it is a big stepping stone to later reading success!
New sight words: down, go, up
Writing: This week we will write responses to the stories we read and begin working on a piece telling which season we prefer-summer or fall.
Math:
This week we begin a new chapter on graphing. Children will learn how to gather data and interpret graphs.
Thanks for reading, everyone!
