Miss Averys Weekly News

This Weeks News:

I cant believe that we have completed Quarter 1 already! Each child has worked very

Last week, we reviewed the different subtraction strategies to wrap up Chapter 2. They
compared addition to subtraction and identifying balanced equations/true and false equations. In
literacy, we reviewed the short o sound and clusters with l (clap, slip, blue). We worked with the
different sentence parts to write more interesting sentences. In reading, we used different
graphic organizers to help sequence the events in a story to better comprehend it. We are also
applying these organizers and sequence words in our writing to help organize our thoughts and
prepare us to write. This week we are reviewing the short e sound and using different s blends
(st, sw, sn, squ and str). We will be using these blends to sound out and blend new words. We will
be reading different stories, focusing on text features. We will also be talking about just right
books that are appropriate for their reading level. For grammar, we are introducing singular/
plural nouns and reviewing our antonyms/synonyms.
