January Newsletter: Reading, Writing, and Celebrating Learning Milestones

1. Mrs. Torrey’s Newsletter January Reading and Writing This month we will be focusing on the letter sounds of F, O, and K. Our new sight words this month include “see, look, they, of, you” so please practice at home! This month is important because we will begin to make beginning consonant blends (sk, br, fl, cr) when sounding out words. We are reading and growing every day! We are still working hard in writing to write neatly and stay within the appropriate lines! Math This month we will finish our number of the week routine by learning the numbers 18, 19, and 20. We will start our measurement unit by using nonstandard units, tape measures, rulers, and our bodies to measure and compare things around us. We will also celebrate our 100th day of school, as we have waited anxiously! How many ways can we count to 100? Science/Social Studies We will work this month in Social Studies on learning how important our roles are in society, by celebrating and learning about Martin Luther King Jr. Our Science unit will coincide with math, as we use tools to measure weather patterns. We will also use the scientific process for our fun experiments!
