We will be using the strategies predicting and inferring as we read the story for the week. We will also be learning how to read a cartoon.
We will focus on “r” controlled vowels: or, er, ir, ur.
Next week’s spelling words include words with the “r” controlled vowels in them.

Math: This week we continued working on Chapter 11. We reviewed fact families and opposite facts. We will continue to work with addition and subtraction. We will be working through this chapter at a slower pace in order to better prepare the children for the next chapter which explores two digit addition. Please continue to reinforce the different strategies we learned at school (counting on, using 10 and doubles). All these strategies will help your first grader add quickly and accurately. Please practice math facts, up to 18, with your child at home. A great website for this is aaamath.com.
Chicks, Chicks, Chicks!!
