Oh, My!

So this week has obviously gotten away from me!! Here's what we've done/are doing this week:

Literacy
As I'm sure you've heard, our letter this week is Pp and our alphafriend is Pippa Pig. We are also talking about the -an family. We made of list of -an words today and the kids did great! To go along with that, our word wall word this week is can. If you haven't already, please begin working on the next level of words (yellow) from the homework bag. Almost everyone knows the blue words already!
In writing we've been talking about punctuation and how different punctuation means different things. We use an exclamation mark when we're excited, a period for a statement, and a question mark for a question.

Math
We have moved on to chapter 6 and are talking about numbers 11-20. We are looking at ten frames to identify the numbers and understand the place value of the numbers. Many of the kids are really starting to understand why there is a 1 in the tens place (because one whole ten frame is full)! We will also continue to write numbers 1-20. Please make sure your child is doing this at home. And they can write farther if they want!

Other
I sent home a book order form yesterday. If you would like to order books please return the form and money to me by Friday.
