Can't believe it is November already. The children have really been learning a lot over the last few months. They have made such great progress. We have concentrated on addition and subtraction with regrouping in math. This is one of the hardest concepts they will have to learn this year. Please continue to practice these skills at home even after we have moved on to other math concepts.
We are focusing on learning comprehension strategies to use while we read. Many of my reading groups are moving away from picture books and moving into chapter books. Knowing and using these strategies will be critical when reading stories with few pictures.
We continue to work in Language Arts on learning the proper place to use capitalization and punctuation in sentences. Most children are becoming more aware in our weekly Friday tests and are being good detectives and finding those errors but some may still need some reinforcement from home. The CRCT has many questions just like the ones they see on the Friday tests.
