Happy May!

Welcome to the month of May!  It's hard to believe that it's already May and that we have all been at home for over 45 days! I really look forward to the times when we can all see each other in person again!

It was great to meet all the children again this week in our small groups!  During our Literacy small groups, we were introduced to two more digraphs.  Digraphs are two letters that make one sound. This week's digraphs were th and ck.  See if your child can find any words with digraphs when he or she is reading to you!  In math, we continued to work on solving story word problems that the children created.  Some even made subtraction problems...which is great!  That is the next area we are going to spend some time on in our math groups: solving subtraction problems and writing subtraction equations. 

I want to thank you all again for your continued support in this remote learning process.  I felt like our groups went more smoothly this week as everyone came with a pencil and paper or something to write with and on.  For this upcoming week, I am asking that your child bring 12 counters to his or her math lesson, as well as, paper and a pencil.  We are going to be practicing subtraction and manipulatives are helpful.  Examples of something to count include small blocks, marbles, paperclips, crayons, checkers, pennies, buttons, popsicle sticks, beads, cotton balls, etc.

As always, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!  Be sure to check the Remote Learning Site on Monday morning for next week's activities.  Have a wonderful weekend!  It looks there will be some sun...so I hope you all can get outside!
