Next week we will be working on short u words.  Please remember to play around with the spelling words.  It is suppose to be nice this weekend so have your child write all the words he or she knows with sidewalk chalk.  How about making words rhyme.  Finding patterns in words can be fun and really make reading and writing much easier for your child.

We worked really hard on analyzing graphs this week.  They had to write their own graph analysis in the their journals today with minimal help.  The concept of how many more or less is still a bit tricky.  We will be taking unit one test this week.  I made sure to hand back the homework so you can look over it with your child.  The test will look very similar to the math pages in the homework.  I also handed back a quick check quiz earlier this week over tally marks, before and after numbers and which number is greater.  Remember greater means more or bigger. This quiz is also a great resource to review.

Have a great weekend.  Please curl up and read a good book with your child.  Model the love for reading!!!!
