ELA (English Language Arts)

We are doing a unit on fiction and non-fiction. This is a review from what we learned in the beginning of the school year, however, we are adding some 1st grade elements to it. Students will have to compare texts on the same subject (ex. dinosaurs) and tell how they know which one is fiction or non-fiction.

We will continue to provide support and activities in letter and sound recognition.

Rhyming- a lot of activities over the next few weeks will focus on rhyming which helps build reading and writing skills.

A great way to start communication with your child is to ask:

What is your favorite book?

Can you count to 100 by 1's, 5's and 10's.

Math - telling time to the hour, money, patterns
