You will notice again in this week’s newsletter that there is extra practice in Literacy and Math. This is not homework, just options for those looking for extra practice at home.
Weather:
Hey parents! The weather is changing, and it is time to get geared up for colder temperatures. Please have a chat with your child concerning what they are expected to wear outside. Last week, we had a lot of students trying to sneak out without jackets, hats or gloves.
Just a friendly reminder to send your child to school ready for outside. K-5 students go outside first thing in the morning, at snack, lunch and from 2:30 to 2:50.
Literacy:
This week we will look at the “ng” sound.
- The “ng” sound is most commonly found in words ending in “ing” but can also be found in “ang”, “ong” and “ung”.
- It is different from “n”, this sound is made by placing the tip of the tongue to the gum ridge just behind your teeth. Think of the word “sun” or “bin“.
- Where “ng” is made by raising the back of your tongue to touch the soft palate at the back of your mouth, blocking the air from exiting your mouth, and letting it escape through your nose.
Word work
wing – rang – sang – long – song – lung
Heart Words
would – should – could – or – for (new)
Math:
We will continue to work on addition but also look at money. We have already looked at counting nickels (¢5, counting by 5’s), dimes (¢10, counting by 10’s) and introduced quarters (¢25, counting by 25). This week students will look at identifying the different coins and bills and counting mixed change up to $1.

Literacy:
This week we will look at the “wh – ph” sound.
WH – Generally, the ‘wh‘ digraph makes a /w/ sound in words like “what,” “when,” and “why”. However, in words with an ‘o’ following the ‘wh’ (like “who,” “whom,” and “whole”), the ‘w’ is silent, and the digraph makes an /h/ sound. This is never found at the end of a word.
PH -The main rule for the ‘ph‘ digraph is that when the letters ‘p’ and ‘h’ are together, they make the ‘f’ sound, like in words such as “phone,” “dolphin,” and “graph”
Word Work
which – when – whisk – Phil – graph
Heart Words
would – should – could
Math:
This week and next week, we will be finishing with doubles + 1 and moving on to addition to sums below 20, adding 10 to a single digit (review from grade 1) and using a number line if needed to solve expressions.
