We just completed the first review book in Superkids and have moved into the next review book called "Camp." We are continuing our reviewing our letter/sound relationships along with writing the letters correctly.
This week we will start spelling practice. I will pass out 5 words to the class on Monday and Friday we will have a spelling test. I am hoping this will help with some of the spelling test anxiety.
We are winding down our next topic in math. We will be finishing our work on substraction this week and moving into 5 and 10 relationships.
