Hello families!

We are back at it and learning so much this week!  In language we're working on past and future tense verbs.  Ask your student to tell you a verb in the past tense and then in future tense this week to work on this at work!

In comprehension we're working on cause and effect.  We read a book today called Interrupting Chicken and talked about how the chicken interrupts others so it causes his dad to be tired :)!


In phonics we are learning a difficult skill of using "soft c" where the C makes an S sound in the word - like in mice.  We're also learning about "soft g" that the G makes a J sound.  Working on their spelling words at home is very helpful in learning these skills.  Try having students write their words with their fingers after they tell you the word.  We write our words in the air too to help us!



In math we're working on subtraction word problems and understanding what our word problem is asking.


In writing, we are beginning a how to writing piece, where students are the expert and teaching another student how to do something through their writing!

age
ledge

Sight words:
