Reading/ Math Curriculum
Next week we will finish reading unit 4 and take the unit test. Unit 5 books will be centered around the theme 'Let's Celebrate'. Students will read and discuss special events at home, such as losing a tooth, all the way to national holidays, like the Fourth of July. Word cards for this unit are red. We are beginning to work with word families ( pat, mat, cat, sat.....). Please reinforce any word families that you see coming home on work.
We have about 8-9 more lessons in math relating to teen numbers and partners that make up a number (6=4+2, 5=3+2). You've probably noticed basic facts on many workbook pages. While students are not expected to memorize addition and subtraction facts, five or less, many will begin to remember them as we continually practice.

Classroom Needs
We are in need of more baby wipes for sticky hands and easy cleanups. We could also use some Clorox type wipes for killing those pesty germs. Thanks!
