Hello,

Last week was a very busy week.  We learned so much.  We talked about Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  We learned about the beginning, middle, and end of a story.  We also talked about characters and setting.  In math, we began measuring and comparing different objects.  We are learning the new words longer, shorter, more, and fewer.  Help me practice using them at home.  This week we will starting a new reading routine called Daily 5.  We will be practicing Reading to Self, Reading to Someone, Work on Writing, Word Work, and Work on Computer.  This will help us to work at our own pace and also be responsible for our own learning.  We enjoy reading our books while also getting the independece to choose how we want to practice our learning.  We are becoming such big kids.  In writing, we will be practicing how to write a friendly letter.  Maybe we can write one together at home?
