This week in Reading, we read the story “Little Panda” and discussed a panda’s first year of life. We saw live footage of a panda from the San Diego Zoo on their “Panda Cam.” Our letters of the week were Bb and Nn. We worked hard on segmenting words into their sounds and blending sounds into words. In Math, we worked on reading, writing, and counting numbers 6 to 10.

Next week, we will begin reading “Little Quack” and discussing what new things you can do as you get older. We will be learning all about the letter Rr as in River. We will discuss new words such as duckling, plunge, pond, paddle, proud, and brave. In Math, we will be tested on reading, writing, and counting numbers to 10 and will begin comparing and ordering numbers to 10. **Please begin to practice counting to 100 by ones and tens and writing numbers to 20. This will be a skill we will work hard on this trimester.
