ABC Countdown
Throughout the Month of May We Will Be Learning:
Reading: As readers, we will compare two texts/ stories to find similarities and differences.
Math: As mathematicians, we will continue adding and subtracting numbers up to 120 and show our thinking using a variety of strategies (draw pictures, tens and ones, number line, number grid, using a friendly fact).
Field Day
Field Day will be on Friday, May 19th! We're so excited about this day of fun in the sun! We will participate in lots of fun games and activities all day. Be sure to send your child to school in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes! If you would like for your child to wear sunscreen, please apply it at home before sending them to school as we cannot apply it at school. You may also send a water bottle to school with your child!
💡 Reminders
- Please be sure you are checking your child's take-home folder every night. Any papers on the right side of the folder should be taken out and kept at home.
- Stay up to date with your child's behavior and important information on the Class Dojo app. Not connected? Contact your teacher to get set up!
- Please check the weather daily. We have recess 1:55-2:25 every afternoon. Be sure to send your child in appropriate clothing for the temperature that day.
- If your child needs to eat breakfast at school, please arrive by 7:30 a.m. Instruction starts promptly at 7:45 a.m. and we want to ensure they have time to eat without feeling rushed.
