Reading: This week, readers will learn to persevere and continue to read. They will make predictions and then confirm or revise them. We will begin to read and make sure to spot words with double consonants and split them into smaller words to make them easier to read. Always make sure to use all the strategies we can to read. 

Phonics: We will identify patterns in the CVCe words we study, noticing how some word endings can help us read more words. We will record our observations to discuss our learning and make it stronger.

Reading: Reading isn't easy, but your child needs to make sure they can overcome the productive struggle. Work together using all the skills, in this Anchor chart to read this book, "Bonk and the Lucky Buckeye". Make sure to have your child read, stop when the story gets interesting, and have your child make a prediction of what will happen next, then confirm or revise that prediction as you read along. 

Phonics: Ask you child to find CVCe words in the books he/she reads. You can use this book if desired: Shelly Shell Shop. Children can also make word lists for CVCe words including long O and long I.  For example, mole, pole, sole and dive, live, hive.

Home Connection Unit 2 Module 3 Session 5 Dots and Dollars. Due on Friday, October 31.          

At school, our young economists are:

- Discussing how families earn money, such as through jobs and services.

- Brainstorming and categorizing things families spend money on, including needs (like food and clothing) and wants (like toys and games).

- Exploring why families choose to save money, and what benefits saving can bring in the future.

- Engaging in interactive activities like drawing, sorting, and role-playing to better understand real-world money choices.

- Reflecting on how making smart choices with money can help families meet their goals.

At home, students can:

- Talk about ways family members earn and save money.

- Help make small spending decisions — for example, choosing between two snacks at the store and discussing why.

- Create a simple savings jar for something they want and track their progress over time.

- Look through advertisements or store flyers to compare prices and discuss how families decide what to buy.

- Read a story or watch a short video about earning, saving, and spending to reinforce classroom learning.
