What we are learning:

Reading- We are on Unit 3, week 4. The story of the week is Farfallina and Marcel. The question of the week is: What happens when animals change? The phonics skill is /f/ spelled Ff. The comprehension skill is plot. The amazing words for this story are: goose, gosling, caterpillar, butterfly, reflection, cocoon. The high-frequency words are: see, look.

Math- We ware beginning Unit 3: Comparing Numbers. The essential question of the week is: how can numbers from 0 to 10 be ordered and compared? Please continue to work with your child on counting, identifying, representing, and writing numbers 0-20.

In Spring Math, we are still working on finding the missing number up to 10. You can help by working with your child on identifying and writing numbers up to 10, and counting forward and backward up to 10.

Writing- We are on Unit 4 of writing. We are still working on writing lowercase letters, but we are continuing working on writing sentences and whole words. We are beginning sentences with a capital letter, ending with a period, and leaving spaces between words.
