Literacy
Our writing focus this month is opinion writing, which will tie into our social studies unit. The reading comprehension focus will be determining the author’s message in a text, and our Fundations phonics work will entail glued letters (word families), blends, and long vowel sounds. We will begin weekly reading homework. Look for an email explaining this. Thank you for continuing to ensure that your children are doing their reading homework and returning their reading logs to school each day! Math We will wrap up Unit 2 and start Unit 3 in Math Expressions. This unit focuses on using math mountains to help solve addition and subtraction problems and we start to look at story problems and figure out the unknown partner number. Students should be working on automaticity of math facts 0-10. Please help them practice by making flashcards, or you can print some from this website: https://www.k5learning.com/free-flashcards/math For more at home math practice, students can access Dreambox on their BVSD student portals. Science/Social Studies Our social studies unit for November and December is How We Belong in the World. We will learn about geography and our families and discuss similarities and differences with families around the world. Other As the weather cools down, please remember to label jackets, boots, gloves and hats. It really helps us get the belongings to the right person. Please practice putting on snow gear independently! If you haven't Funded the Fox, please do so if you are able.
