12/23 HALF Day! Pick up at 11:30. Since so many are going to be absent this day we will be watching a movie and having extended recess.

12/26-1/9 NO SCHOOL

1/10 Students return to school

Academic:

Phonics: We are going to be learning about vowel team -ai and -ay. Vowel teams are when two vowels work together to make a long vowel sound. Some examples are rain and ray.

Comprehension: We will be continuing to work on identifying main idea of a text. This helps students to know what are the most important parts of the story.

Writing: Students are going to continue to work on opinion pieces!

Math: Students will work on identifying numbers that are even and odd. We will also work on word problems. As a class we are not showing our work when we solve problems. This will be a helpful step as we move into harder word problems.

Social Studies: We will be moving to social studies next week. We will be talk about Map skills and keys. This is one of my personal favorite units!
