It’s been a very exciting week at Hadden Elementary! We ‘kicked off’ our Be a Reader with The Tale of Desperaux. We will need a toilet paper roll by next Friday for an activity we are doing with the book. I will have extras.
FUNdations:
I have now introduced tapping sounds, blending the sounds, reading the word and spelling the sounds in CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant). Patterns are all around us and students recognize that when we have a three letter word, the vowel makes a short sound. I have attached the Trick Words for the unit on the back of this letter. A Trick word is a sight word. We never tap trick words because they can be ‘Rule breakers.’ For example, /said/ sounds like sed/.
Reading/Daily 5
We learned that that good readers take a sneak peek before they read a book to warm up their brain. Good readers think….and then make a prediction about what the book will be about. We learned that our predictions change as we read or listen to the story. Our readers know that a prediction is a guess and it doesn't have to be correct. We’re thinking about our reading.
Math Talk:
We have been working on strategies for counting on using number lines, 5-group cards, our fingers and manipulatives. Our challenge this week is counting on to find the missing number (unknown addend) in s story problem.

Thank you for all you do!!

Homework is due every Monday. If you have any questions or concerns, please communicate with me:)

Spirit week is next week for Riverside. A letter is in your folder!
