thinking and evaluate number relationships.
Our assessment will be next Friday.
Up next is Addition Facts to 20.
Phonics: I hope you had a chance to review your child’s recent

In our new unit we are focusing on the bonus letters spelling rule (pill, cuff, fuss) and the glued
sound all. This is new material that has
not been previously taught in K.
Religion: Next week students will learn about Jesus and ministry and
teachings through acting out bible stories.

different materials by the attributes we have been discussing for several
weeks. Up next is working with liquids!
Have a great weekend!
