Reading/Writing

We have been working hard on comprehension strategies in our reading.  We are working on metacognition which; is thinking about our thinking and schema.  Schema is what we already know about what we are reading.  Always ask questions at home as they read.  In writing we have been writing about President’s Day! 

Math

We spent some time working on counting by 10’s to 100.  Please practice this at home to reinforce it.  We also started our new chapter on basic addition skills.  We have worked very hard on these and are hoping to continue to add bigger numbers together.   This can be a tough concept for many to understanding so any practice at home will be very helpful to their learning of basic addition.  We have spent a lot of time figuring out different ways to make numbers.  Check their papers as they come home to help practice our skills.
