What are we currently studying?

Literacy: Unit 1 - Tools and Work Your child will begin to study the topic of tools and work with a focus on learning about tools and the jobs they do. The learning will be focused on these ideas:

Tools make our lives easier by helping us do work.
There are different types of tools for different types of work.

Your child will also practice these reading foundation skills:

Identify and write the sound for most consonants and vowels
Segment (break apart) the individual sounds of spoken, one-syllable words, and blend them back together
Decode (read) and encode (write) regularly spelled, one-syllable words

Math: Topic 1 - Solve Addition and Subtraction Problems to 10

Social Studies Understand the Importance of Rules

Science - Essential Question: What are science tools and how do we use them to discover and learn?

Check out these great books to read!

I love to read books from my favorite authors- Eric Carle, Tomie DePaola, Frank Asch, Ezra Jack Keats, Jan Brett, Leo Lionni, Bill Martin Jr., Shel Silverstein, and Dr. Seuss. During the year, I like to help students find authors they like and have author studies and Book talks. It's so much fun to share and read our stories to each other.

Two of my favorite books I love to read to my class are

Have you filled a bucket today? by Carol McCloud ,How full is your bucket? by Tom Rath and Mary Reckmeyer. and The Energy Bus for Kids by Jon Gordon.

I hope you get a chance to read them with your family!

Read these three books to see how you can "Be a Bucket Filler!" and "stay positive and overcome challenges!"

Here is a wonderful site for you and your child to find and read books from a wonderful storybook collection. https://www.storylineonline.net/

My favorite teacher books are : Mindset- the new psychology of success by Carol Dweck, A Whole New Mind by Daniel H. Pink, The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon, and I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai.
