Guided Reading Books and Library Books
We want your children to read on a nightly basis. We want to encourage reading at home to an adult. You need to listen to your children read with fluency and without errors. We also need your child to bring these material on a daily basis to school. With our guided reading program, teachers only check out the books they need for each group. We also have to share these materials with other teachers in different grade levels, so we don't pull more than what we need for each group. When your child does not bring their books, we can not work on their reading skills with us. Please make sure guided reading material come to school every day.
Library Books
Please make sure your child's library books are in their backpack on assigned library day. If you child's book is lost or missing please contact Mrs. Moore.

We are learning about inventors and their inventiveness. Our focus has been on Alexander Graham Bell this week and next. We will also be looking at Thomas Edison. We are discussing how things were in the past and how they are in the present.
Math- We have been working on building a strong number sense and developing fluency with counting and understanding the Base 10 number system This week we will be focusing on skip counting by 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s. You can help by encouraging your child to practice counting at home. Make it fun with real items- count shoes, have your child match and fold socks, count pieces of silverware, find coins and count coins.
