Thank you to all the parents who sent snacks and treasures for our treasure chest. Our class can always use these items. This Friday is the Monster Truck Rally at 7:30 at Lonestar Speedway. This is a huge fundraiser for the White Oak Education Foundation, so everyone try to come out and have a family night. Parent Orientation is scheduled for September 19th. You will receive a note with details this week. Also coming up is Picture Day on September 21st. More information about this later.

This week:

Reading: Continue reading at home every day. Students are reading to me each day and are involved in Guided Reading Stations.

Word Work: short vowel sounds and assessment on ending sounds

Writing/Spelling: New spelling words are it, is, in, you, that. Spelling test will be on Friday. Please look for the new words on Tuesday. They will be on yellow and white paper. The ones circled are the ones your child needs to work on. We will be exploring our own writing this week through the writing process.

Math: We will continue to work on one-to-one correspondence while working with our math tools: 10 frame, number line and 100 chart. We will also be using intentional problem solving to find answers to some math questions involving addition.

We will continue our study of Kevin Henkes books and find the lesson learned in each.

I hope you all have had a great Labor Day weekend!

Mrs. Benson
