Next Week

Next week we will begin to talk about tally marks.  We will be using wooden sticks to practice making groups of 5.  We will practice writing numbers 1-15.  
Of course, we will be focusing on everything that has to do with Thanksgiving.  I can't believe it is almost here.  Where is this year going?
In reading, we are now working with  the "at" word family.  We practice reading words by blending the beginning sound and the word family  chunk "at" together.  Example, b    at    - bat
                             c    at     - cat
                             f     at     -fat
This is called onset and rime. The onset is the beginning sound, "b" in bat.  The rime is the word family chunk, "at." 
After the "at" word family, we will start the "an" family.
