In reading this week we are working on the long /i/ sound.  Mostly, we will be looking at how the "magic e" makes the letter i say it's own name.  The kids are making Long i Kites in centers too.  Help your child recognize the "magic e" in words and remind them that it makes the vowel say it's own name.  
      ex: kite, bite, Mike, size, like, nine, slide...

 There is math homework on Tuesday.  Please complete and discuss with your child.  It is to be returned to school on Wednesday.  There will be a math test on Chapter 16, Wednesday.  

Thursday we will be starting to study patters. There are a few different patterns that your child will be able to recognize  and extend by the end of the week.
Some examples of patterns are:
      ABA
     ABC
