The next story for Reading is Little Quack by Lauren Thompson.  It will be an animal fantasy story.  The comprehension skill we will target is plot, or the “what happens part of the story”.  We will be learning the consonant letter Rr and its sound /r/ as in rabbit and reindeer.  Watch for the new Family Times newsletter in your child’s folder and be sure to read the “WORDS TO READ” section!  Practice high frequency sight words daily!

In Math, we will continue with Unit 2; Numbers 11-20.  Practice reading, writing, and counting numbers 0-20, and review 2D and 3D solid shapes.
