Academic Info:

Language Arts - In spelling students are focusing on words containing soft c and g sounds.   Students are reviewing literary elements in reading and are writing "How To" stories during writer's workshop.

Math - Students are working on place value and ways to show numbers.

Core and Priority Words- Each child was given a Priority and Core Words list to take home. The Priority and Core Words are high frequency words your child needs to know how to read and spell by the end of this school year. Continue to review these words regularly with your child. If you do not have the Priority and Core Words list please send me a note and I will send you one.
