Our annual food drive has begun! We use this as an opportunity to talk about how important it is to look out for the people in our community. Please send in any type of canned or non-perishable food item you are able to. This year we are also collecting different home items such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap and diapers. Even the smallest donation is a great way to contribute to our community. Thank you!
Here's what we are learning about...
Reading- What is PIE? That stands for author's purpose....to Persuade, toInform, to Entertain. We will spend some time talking about author's purpose and what clues we can find in text to help us decide if it was written to persuade, inform or entertain. Ask your child each night what the author's purpose was for the text they read!
Math- We have been learning and practicing different strategies for adding and subtracting numbers within 100. We will continue to work on problem solving skills and number sense as well.
Writing- We have left narratives behind (for a little while) and are working on informative writing. The first type of informative writing is "how to" writing. We will then move into some research and writing.
