Math: Students completed a cumulative assessment on units 1-4 which went home on Wednesday.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  On Tuesday we began our fifth unit, Addition Facts to 20.  This unit builds directly off our last unit which covered addition and subtraction to 12.

Phonics:  On Wednesday students completed an assessment on unit four, which covered the bonus letter spelling rule and glued sound “all”.  All the students did a great job!  On Thursday we began our fifth unit, which covers the glued sounds “am” and “an” like in pan and ham.  

Religion: Students have spent time thinking about Veteran’s Day.  Next week in religion we will be making cards for Holiday Mail for Heroes.

Science:  Students were introduced to our unit on liquids this week.  Next week students will explore different liquids in bottles and make comparisons between them.  New vocabulary has been introduced.  Ask your child about some of the new science terms! 

Please consider making a contribution to a school supplies drive for the children in Oaxaca, Mexico who will be visiting the middle school students at BSS next week.

Have a great long weekend!
