We will also be continuing to stretch out words while we write. Then we will begin our unit on “All About books.” In this unit, we learn how to write an informational book. We will be focusing on how to include a table of contents, illustrations, labels and diagrams, heading, bold words and captions. At home, when your child is writing, continue to have them sound out words instead of telling them how to spell tricky words.
Math In November, we will be completing unit 3 on addition. In this unit we will be discussing how to add by making ten, to count on, to know our doubles and doubles plus one and to add three numbers together.
