Upcoming Star of the
Week: Adrianna
Math: We completed
our unit, Understanding Addition this week.
We entered our second unit, Understanding Subtraction on Wednesday. We began by finding the missing parts of 6,
7, 8, and 9. After this we will move to
subtraction expressions and number sentences.
Similarly to our addition unit, students will work with counters and
cubes as manipulatives to support understanding.

Phonics: Earlier in the week we wrapped up our first
unit, which focused on letter-keyword recognition for consonants and short
vowels and letter formation. We began
our second unit which focuses on blending and segmenting three sound words with
a review on tapping as a skill, sentence dictation procedures and story
retelling.
Religion: In
Religion we are continuing with the theme of creation. Students are exploring ways to be caretakers
of God’s creation. We have been
discussing the ways in which we can honor God by thanking, knowing, loving, and
serving God.
Science: Next
week we will begin our first science unit which is exploration of senses. We will begin with smell and move to touch
and taste. These activities will support
our five senses field trip to Moose Hill later in October.
Have a great weekend!
