Math:
Students are reviewing strategies for addition and subtraction within 20. Math games were sent home in Friday Folders and can be used for extra practice. Math WIN groups have officially started—ask your child who their WIN teacher is!

Reading:
The current focus is on reading and spelling closed multisyllabic words. For our read-aloud, the class is enjoying The Wizard of Oz.

Science:
We are currently in a social studies unit. We will alternate between social studies and science units throughout the year. This social studies unit will set the background knowledge that kids will use in their first PBL of the year. 

Social Studies:
A strong classroom community is being built through collaborative rule-making and team-building activities. The class is now transitioning into the first unit on different types of communities.

Social Emotional Learning:
This month’s character trait is respect! We'll practice moving respectfully through shared school spaces and continue to follow our Shepardson Respect Code:

⭐Respect for self

⭐Respect for others

⭐Respect for our world
