We will continue Chapter 8 in math, this chapter is about relating addition 
and subtraction math facts up to 20, seeing the relationship.  The children 
will need to have command of both addition and subtraction math facts. The 
children will need to be able to find the difference, compute a doubles math 
fact, create a math fact family, and find the sum.  Please practice 
addition/subtraction math facts with your child.  By the end of the school 
year, the children need to know their addition and subtraction mathematics 
facts from 1-20.  

Please be an active boxtop looker and saver.  Please cut out boxtops and 
return to our classroom as soon as possible.  The entire school is in contest 
for landmark prizes when we turn in a specific number of boxtops.  Go Carsey 
parents!  Save those boxtops!!!!   Go team go!!!

We will continue our physical science unit Chapter 6.  This chapter focuses 
on solids, liquids, and gases.  The children will learn to describe matter, 
identify solids, liquids, and gases, and be able to indicate how they are 
different from each other.  The students will be able to identify the 
different properties of a solid, liquid, and a gas. 

In our Open Court reading program we will continue to learn a new letter 
sound-spelling card each day.  A new reading decodable book will be 
introduced each day to reinforce our new letter sound-spelling card.  Please 
keep these books in a safe place for your child to read and re-read.  We 
started comprehension questions that go with each reading decodable book, the 
children are responsible for completing these questions by themselves.  

Take some time to visit some of the wonderful links that are available on our 
website.  They're wonderful!
