Month: January 2015

Happy February! This week we will be learning about the Ch digraph, the sight words down and on and the –on word family. In Math, we will start counting and writing to 100. In the afternoons, we will start our Unit on Famous Americans and National Symbols. We will learn about Betsy Ross, the American Flag, President Obama, the Liberty Bell, Rosa Parks and the Statue of Liberty.

Interims will come home on February 5^th. There is still time if anyone would like to sign up for a conference.

Please continue to read at home and practice those sight words (I check them every Wednesday).
