~This week in Phonics we will be learning the letter Rr and its sound as in rabbit and reindeer. This is our 13th letter so we will be half way through the alphabet! Start looking for your Show & Tell!


~In Math we will be working on Chapter 6: Numbers 10-30. The names for 11, 12, 13, and 15 may be harder for your child to remember since they do not contain the familiar number names one, two, three, and five. Try to review them often.


~We will finish reading the story Bear Snores On and begin A Bed for the Winter by Karen Wallace. It will be an informational text. We will discuss Fiction and Non-Fiction, winter homes, and work on the comprehension skill, sequence. We will also review the short /i/ sound.
