Hi all!

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend!

Here are a few notes for this week:

1. Photo orders are due tomorrow, October 10.

2. Book Orders are due Wednesday, October 17.

3. Guided reading is going well! Thank you for signing your child's homework each night. I sent new books home this week. If you did not bring your books back, I did not send any home. Your child can practice the ones they had last week again this week.

4. We are starting word work this week. Children will be getting used to this routine in the next couple of weeks. We started with short vowels at the beginning of the year, and this week we will be working on consonant clusters: br, cr, dr, and fr. This is a list of the words we will be working on this week.

1.brother
2. brave
3. crawl
4. crayon
5. draw
6. drive
7. drink
8.friend
9.Friday
10. from

There are lots of free activities your child can do with these during the week at night, if you feel you want to practice them at home! :) If you want some ideas please send me an email and I can send some things your way!

5. In math, we introduced near doubles today as an addition strategy. If you would like to work on that with your children as well feel free! Another wording for this is doubles plus one. We will also continue working on our skip counting, as well as working with odd and even number this week.

Thank you so much!
