MATH
This week in math we have been working on addition. It is important that every student understands what an addition number sentence looks like. Please review with your child that an addition number sentence looks like this:
______ + ______ =SUM
We will be having a math test on Friday. Look for the math review homework in Thursday nights Homework Folder. Math homework will always come home the night before the test. This can be your clue about test dates.
PURPLE
Today we completed the PURPLE page in our color book. Ask your child to share the PURPLE song we learned today. We also read "Harold and the Purple Crayon." This is a great book that sparks tons of imagination and creativity. It has always proven to be one of the children's favorite books.
"Short A" All week we have been focusing on the "short a" sound. I use the visual cue of eating an apple, to spark recall. While doing the visual cue, we also recite, "a, a, apple." Have your child demonstrate for you.
A great idea for practicing "short a" is to build short a words. In class we build one word and just change a single letter to create a totally different word. This also leads into great discussions and teaching opportunities revolving around rhyming.
