Phonics: We will learn how to make a verb past tense if it ends in -- vowel + consonant

Social Studies: The learners will identify and describe physical characteristics of landforms.

Fun activities to do at home:

Math - You can find geometric shapes everywhere! Practice observation skills and help your child notice geometric shapes on a family walk or drive. Discuss how many sides and vertices they see?

READING - Enjoy some extra time reading on Bookflix, Epic, Learning A-Z, Book in a Bag, or check out some books from the TCE library. Our librarian hands out library books on Wednesdays.

In the reading course of Schoology, you can find the kindergarten, first grade, and second grade snap word list.

Social Studies: Discuss different landforms in our country!!!

Virtual Learner Announcements

Dream Box - Please make sure your child is on Dream Box at least 3 times a week for 15 minutes. :-)

Face to Face Learner Announcements

Please ask your child if they have working headphones. Many learners have broken their headphones or the headphones do not fit them correctly. We use these every day so it's good to invest in a good pair of headphones. If your child needs a new pair, please send them to school.

Please make sure you put your child's fully charged Ipad and charger in their backpack each day. The Ipad battery should be 100%.

Please make sure to send any library books back to school.

It's hard to believe that we are coming to the end of the year. If you have any concerns about your child's academics and you would like to schedule a zoom conference to discuss next steps, please reach out to your teacher.
