Curriculum Corner
Build a love for reading!
Welcome back to school families! We are so excited to see your student in class. We are
starting off the year building a LOVE for reading. To assist us, offer your child various
books to read at home. Reading at home can include interest books, picture books,
comic books, etc. Don't have any books at home? Problem solved! Ask your student to
log onto Classlink and choose MyOn . Here they can choose a variety of
interest books on various levels.
We started off the school year with learning about Place Value. Each digit in a number represents
an amount. For example, the 4 in 462 is equal to 400. As we continue to work with understanding
the value of digits, ask your child to represent a given number using base ten blocks.
This month begins the celebration of Hispanic Heritage. We will honor the culture and contribu-
tions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans.
