Looking into this week!

Dear Parents,

 In class we have been working hard memorizing our doubles facts.  It is important that you also practice this skill at home.  This way when we are doing doubles plus one and doubles minus one your child will understand the new material better.  The first step is knowing the doubles.  I would recommend writing doubles on the front of an index card and the answer one the back.  For example, 1 + 1 on the front and the answer on the back.  Quiz your child every night and they will be very successful in the skill. Practice doubles all the way up to 10 + 10.

 

The homework math packet is due on Friday, we slowed down this week to provide extra time and practice for doubles facts. 

 

This week we are also working on the short e sound and learning about nouns and when to include commas in our writing. 

 

Also I wanted to remind everyone that conferences are mandatory.  I will be sending dates and times home soon.  Please sign up for a date and time that you are available and I will work hard to accommodate everyone with their various schedules. 

 

Don't forget to send in your activity fees.  The first field trip is at the end of this month!  

Thank you for your support,

Erin Devlin
