Happy Thursday families! How nice it was to have a full week back in school. We could start practicing routines again and get back in the swing of things.
Riggs: This week for Riggs we've learned ar (the pirate phonogram), ck (k two-letter k used only after a single vowel which says ah, eh, ih, aw, uh), ed (ed, d, t past tense ending) and or.
Saxon Math: We have been learning how to number a clock face, how to add 2 to an even number and how to add 2 to an odd number .
Core Knowledge: We have been learning about past presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
