This week we learned the sounds for letters /h/ and /r/.  We really worked hard this week on reading CVC words.  You will see a list of CVC words come home in your child's folder today.  We started practicing reading these words with a partner each day.  We put a check next to words that were easy for us to sound out and then a dash if the word was hard for us to sound out.  See if your child can read these words to you at home.

In math we really focused on adding numbers up to 10.  We talked a lot about what the plus sign means and practiced figuring out addition math equations.

We finished talking about communities and how people in communities help each other.  Yesterday your child brought home a picture that he or she drew of how he or she helps in the community.  Today your child will have a picture of their family that they drew.

In writing workshop we worked so hard to make our writing readable.  We talked about writing that was hard to read and writing that was easy to read.  We learned that writing that is easy to read has spaces between words, neat letters, a lot of letters, and pictures that help.  

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!
