What's Happening This Week:
Hello, Wonderful Families! 🌼
Spring is in the air, and we’re buzzing with excitement in our classroom! As we embrace the season of growth and renewal, we’re eager to share all the fun and learning that’s happening. Let’s dive into our weekly update!
Phonics: Get ready for some shared reading fun! We’ll be identifying, blending, and spelling words with the long "e" sound, specifically those spelled with -ey and -y. Don’t forget to check out the attachment for some exciting ways to learn this rule at home! 📚✨

Sight Words:

Reading: This week, we’ll use illustrations and details to describe settings in our stories. We’ll discuss how these details help us understand the story better. Encourage your child to ask questions during and after reading to deepen their understanding. We’ll also explore who is telling the story and clarify the meanings of words using context clues. 🖼️📖
Math: We’re kicking off Topic 10, where we’ll learn to add a 2-digit number to a 1-digit or 2-digit number. Your child will explore various tools and strategies, including concrete models and drawings. It’s important for them to explain their thinking behind the strategies they choose! Let’s make math fun together! ➕➖Topic 10 - Family Engagement. ➕➖
Things to remember
Encourage your child to practice their spelling and sight words at home.
Ask them about the stories they read and the illustrations they see.
Support them in explaining their math strategies to reinforce their understanding.
Until next time! 🌈
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child’s learning journey. Together, we’re making this spring a season of growth and discovery! Have a fantastic week ahead! 🌟
Happy Spring! 🌼
