News for the Week of November 28
Reading: This week we will be reading the book, Mooseltoe. The objectives for this book will be inferencing, nouns and verbs,
and parts of a friendly letter. We will continue to work on story elements and sequencing. The phonics focus for this week will
be the “oo” sound. The spelling words are: moon, soon spoon, book, took, look, cook, shook, little, very.
Math: In math we will work on adding two digit numbers with regrouping. Also, lots of the children have forgotten how to
identify coins and their values from kindergarten. Please go over the four coins with your child over the break. We will begin
counting coins soon and the children need to know how to identify each coin and how much each coin is worth.
Reminders: (I will send home an important date’s letter on Monday, November 28 since December is so busy.)
