Poetry Tuesday

Dear Mom and Dad:

Please take the time to read our housekeeping items!

We added two new poems to our poetry folders, “Five Little Pumpkins” and “Flutter Flutter Little Bat.” The poems in my poetry folder help me recognize word wall words and the patterned text helps me decode words I don’t know.

In math, we compared pumpkins through measurement. We named some of our pumpkins and came up with some math stories about them. For example, “Lily is smaller than Zack.”  We looked at words such as smaller, thinner, wider, bigger, taller etc.

Ask me to share with you what I worked on in Word work today. Mrs. McEvoy’s class had music today.

Question of the day: Think of a story or measurement about the people or items in your household and post on the blog.

Love,

The Rainbow Triad
