Reading/ Math Curriculum
This month we will be working on Unit 4 in reading. Our theme will be nature and the environment. Topics include natural vs. man-made, natural resources and how they are used and recycling and caring for the earth. New word cards are colored yellow. Please make sure to practice the sight word cards weekly with your child. Many students would benefit from that added practice.
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.

Recess Needs
All students should have appropriate outdoor clothing for recess. This includes snow pants, snow boots, hats and gloves or mittens. An extra pair of gloves/mittens for noon recess is helpful. Make sure to label everything!
