Week of April 9^th-13th

This week in Reading we will begin the story The Little Engine That Could. The question we will focus on is: What kind of work do trains do? This story is a classic fantasy and we will be focusing on the text based comprehension skill of plot. Our phonics skill is /u/ spelled Uu. Our high frequency words are: what, said, was.

This week in Math we will continue with Topic 9, Composing and Decomposing Numbers to 10. We will learn to make the numbers 4-10 as well as write number sentences for the numbers 4-10. Please continue practicing counting to 100 by ones, fives, and tens as well as writing numbers 0 to 20.

It is not too late to send in an auction basket donation. Our class theme is “Summer Time Pool Fun”. Our basket looks great. Thank you to all for the wonderful donations! J The auction will be held this Saturday and Sunday at NSE’s gym. There are some really great prizes and some baskets set aside strictly for NSE students. Hope to see you there.
