January 17th 

It was a busy week of learning! 

In math, I introduced subtraction so we've been describing it as taking away a part of a bigger number. And it always helps to use food questions like "Sam had 10 cookies. He ate 3. How many cookies are left? Please practice with your child at home so they become fluent with their mental subtraction from 20. 

In literacy we have been learning about digraphs. The letter combinations "sh" "th" and "ch" were introduced this week. Please work on these sounds with your children at home as well. 

In Science, we have been learning about the season of Winter as well as hibernation, migration and adaptation. We will be completing an art project this coming week around those new vocabulary words. 

We finished up our Minecraft self portrait with our buddies today and they went home. 

Homework for the week is to read 10 minutes everyday :) 

Have a great weekend and stay warm!
