newsletter September 2


A peek at our week:
This week, we have learned to “read to others.”  During this time, the students pick a partner and read to each other.  The students take turns reading and checking for understanding.  They have also learned to “coach” their partners when they come to a word they do not know.  In reading, we have been learning about short a words.  We have also been learning about the word families –ack, -ag, and –at.  In math, we are working on counting using ten frames, counting on and simple addition. 

Grandparents’ Lunch
Unfortunately, I will be out on September 8 for some doctor’s appointments.  I am so disappointed to miss getting to meet our grandparents.  Don’t forget, if grandparents are unable to come, please feel free to send a “substitute.”
