Our big book this week is about Antarctica. The students are really excited about this non-fiction book and have been learning a lot about continents, penguins, whales, seals, and scientists. Ask them to tell you about what they have been learning.
This week we have been focusing on the vowel Ee! Please continue to practice reading and writing words such as: red, bed, hen, pen, pet, set, leg, peg…
New High Frequency Words: here, from, go (last week’s words: one, two, three, four, five)
Here is a video we have been using in school to help us learn how to spell our number words:

In math we just finished up our measurement unit and will begin another geometry unit next week. Keep an eye out for our math newsletter that will tell you all of the things we will be learning about in this unit. Don’t forget to continue to practice identifying, writing and counting up to 100!
