We will be starting our 5th story for
Reading, Smash! Crash! Watch for your Family Times
newsletter to come home on Monday.
Our focus will be on the story’s character. We will be working with the consonant letter Mm and the
beginning and final sound /m/ in words.
Continue to read at home and practice the high frequency words, practice
rhyming and counting syllables in words and identifying the letters from Aa-Zz.
Your child should be able to read the little readers that come home on day 2 of
the new story! The past week we
began working with the letters Ll, Oo, and Gg and practiced letter sounds and blending sounds to read the
words log and go. We learned some
letters are consonants and some are vowels. When practicing letter sounds we learned both short o as in octopus and long o as in overalls.

For Math we will work with Topic 16; Analyzing,
Comparing, and Composing Shapes.
Review the 2 and 3 dimensional shapes circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, cube, cylinder, cone, and
sphere. Continue to

and return Topic 15 Tests as they come home in RETURN.
