Spelling:  Students are working on the chunk "ug" this week.  Students are aware that our hard working vowel for this week is "u".  Please review their spelling nightly and practice writing their words using lower case letters.   Writing:  Students are learning to use their "Writers Eye" when writing stories.  When they finished a piece of writing they can check to see if they have done the following: 1.  Did I use capital letters at the beginning of my sentence? 2.  Do I see finger spaces between all the words I wrote? 3.  Do I see lowercase letters throughout my sentence? 4.  Do I see punctuation at the end of my sentence?   Math:  This week we are looking at creating number lines using ten frames.  Our focus is on numbers from 1 to 20.  Please continue to practice the formation of numbers between 10 - 20 as some students continue to struggle with the orientation of their numbers. Example:  12 is written 21.   Have a great week!
