🍎 Thank you to those of you who have already completed conferences with me. I look forward to meeting with the rest of our class on Tuesday (reminder there is not school on Tuesday). We have grown so much and are excited to show it!

📚 This week and last week in reading we focused on retelling a story and drawing conclusion about a story. We did this by orally telling, sorting pictures, and acting out. We also looked at how the characters are feeling and what is being said to help us draw conclusions about what might come next or why a character has done a certain action. Last week we focused on the words come and me, and we added with and my for this week. Last week we looked at the letter Aa again in order to help us identify the two sounds the letter makes (short a - apple, long a - ape) and this week we moved to the letter Nn. 

🔢 We have moved to topic 6 in math which brings us to addition. These are some very important foundational skills that will shape the future understanding of our math. We have focused on numbers up to ten and have spent a few days focusing on each aspect of an equation. Specifically, identifying the missing numbers of a problem, looking at the plus sign, looking at the equal sign, and connecting the concepts of number sentences and equations. We will continue this work next week!

🖊 Our Lincoln Lion Rainbow Publishers have completed their very first writing unit: teaching books! You will see one of your child's favorite teaching books at conference, and the rest will be making their way home as the writers see fit. We have started our next unit: stories! We have been reading lots of helpful books that show us different ways to ensure we have a story. We remind ourselves that stories tell who, what, when, where, and why/how. These stories will have all the details! We also learned about word bubbles and how they can help make our stories come to life!

🦁 Thank you for your continued support and encouragement to our class as we continue to work to our very best ability! As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a wonderful weekend! Lincoln Lions ROAR with PRIDE! 🦁
