The Countdown Begins!

I can't believe we are down to only 9 more days of school! This year went by so fast.

For the remainder of the year we will work on addition and subtraction. These are some of the most difficult math concepts that we have learned all year. Please practice addition and subtraction all summer so that your child will be ready for first grade. You can practice addition and subtraction in fun ways. For example we used pretzels last week to demonstrate subtraction problems. You can use cereal, fruit snacks, toys, stickers, or simply draw pictures.

In Language Arts we are reviewing all of the skills learned this year. Those skills include- compare and contract, main idea, character, setting, sequence, realism and fantasy, nouns, and verbs. We are also reviewing letters, sounds, decoding skills and fluent reading. We have also been reviewing all 40 sight words. In writing we will be concentrating writing two or more sentence each time we write. We will also continue focusing on writing neatly, leaving meatball spaces, and using correct punctuation.

We have some exciting things coming up the next few days.
