be focusing for the next four weeks on our writing responses, sequencing,
and details from the story.
Phonics: We will continue with Unit 4 in Fundations. We will be focusing
on consonant suffixes, vowel suffixes and basewords. We will be working on
the endings: /-es/, /-est/, /-ed/, /-ing/ and /-er/. We will also introduce
the following vowel teams: /oa/, /ow/, /ou/, /oo/, /ue/, /ew/and /
oe/.Please look on our blog for the parent letter for Unit 4 to explain all

Math: We will start on Chapter 3: Data and Graphs: Using Operations. This
is a very hard chapter. We will not have a final test on this chapter and will
be more working on exposing the children to graphs and data than working
towards mastery of these concepts.
