PLEASE have your child practice saying these words tonight!
odd/ode, on/own, not/note, sock/soak, cop/cope, rod/rode, got/goat, blah/blow, cot/coat, clock/cloak, slop/slope, chock/choke, stock/stoke

Using the poster, The Dive, the kids will make predictions using clues and evidence in a passage and what they already know.

**NO Book Club this week as I will be assessing each child for their report card.**

We can get a writing topic from books we’ve read. Who was in the story? What did they do? Why did they do that? Where were they? When I am reading a book to you, you too can ask yourself the 5 W’s.
Kindermath: Decomposing 11-20
This lesson is the foundation for students to compare teen numbers. We will first focus on reviewing that a teen number is 10 and some extras. We will then work on comparing the “extras” before we move into comparing teen numbers for their numeral only. Using an magnetic Ten-Frame, I will show a full ten-frame and ask, “How many do we see here? Yes, we see 10! How did you know that? Yes, because our ten-frame is filled! What if I do this? (The magnets will be moved outside of the ten frame but still in a group.) How many do I have? I still have 10. Just because I moved them outside of the ten-frame, there are still 10 because I didn’t add any or take any away. Now what if I do this?” I will add 3 additional circles to the OUTSIDE of the filled ten-frame and ask, “How many do I now have? Yes, 13, you are right! You knew there were 10 and counted on...11, 12, 13.” I'll write the number 13 on the board and explain that the 1 stands for ONE group of 10 and the 3 stands for the EXTRAS. I will continue the same routine with the numbers 12, 14, and 15.


~The kids enjoyed hearing Mr. Sawatzke read The Frog Principal on Friday.
~Bingo Fun Night is Thursday...our grade level has received three gift cards so far. We are in need of more, if you can help. Thank you!
