| In October we learned letters M, A, and S. We also learned some new sight words too along the way like “the”, “we”, and “see.” We also finished our first math unit! Our students have learned how to count objects, ask questions about how many, and write numerals 0-10. This month in kindergarten we continue to work through our Wonders Curriculum! We will be getting into our Unit 2 which is about tools we can use to explore, shapes around us, and bugs! We will learn two new letters P and T. We will also add two new sight words “a” and “like.” Also, in November we will also get into a new math module where students will learn all about two- and three-dimensional shapes. We will also keep practicing our illustration unit and building confidence in their drawings. The students are all working so hard! We can’t wait to continue and watching them grow! | Hello first grade families! This month we will begin a new module in math where we will be learning about addition and subtraction relationships. In reading, we will continue to work on improving our reading fluency by learning the first 100 sight words and learning new phonics and spelling rules. It is important that your child is reading at home every night. Reading practice pages are sent home each week along with our newsletter. In writing, we will be talking about and writing about all the things we are thankful for. | Second grade has begun unit 2 in our reading curriculum. We will be focusing on main idea, problem and solution, as well as beginning, middle, and end. In writing we will be doing expository writing about animals. For math we will continue to look at place value and the different way to model numbers. We will finish up social studies on goods and services and then move into science exploring plants, animals, and their habitats. |

Keep working on those multiplication facts. In reading we will be working on the author’s point of view, identifying the theme in a story, and main idea and details. In grammar, we will also be learning how to combine sentences, possessive nouns, and action verbs. The genres we will be studying are poetry, historical fiction, and expository (information text). We are finishing up our unit on economics and then we will be learning about life cycles in Science. | Hello 4th grade families! As we dive into our 2nd quarter this month, we will learn how to multiply using different strategies, divide using various strategies and problem solve with measurements in math.

We will begin our discussion in Science about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and humans' uses of energy. We will continue our journey learning about Colorado’s history with a focus on the Spanish in North America and the Fur Trade. Finally in ELA we will identifying the theme and point of view of a passages, antonyms, similes and metaphors, and identifying context clues. We will continue using our RACE responses to answer questions throughout all subjects. We are looking forward to a great 2nd quarter. We appreciate all the support from our families, we couldn’t do this without you! | 5th Grade is going to be quite busy during the month of November!
