Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Parent/Teacher conference. We enjoyed talking to each of you and thank you for taking such an active role in your child’s education. Everyone has been so nice to work with. We really enjoy working with your children every day. They are a great bunch! Give yourselves a cheer!
Don’t forget: Homework should not take a long time. If your child is reaching frustration:
Take a break, write us a note, read their reader to them and have them pick out words. The important part is that they are seeing and hearing the material each night to reinforce what we do in school.
Next week in Phonics we will focus on the letter Mm as in monkey. We will identify initial and final sounds in words, think of rhyming words, and unblend sounds in words.
In Math we will solve problems by looking for patterns, identify and count pennies, match number cards to a set of objects and describe the relative position of objects.
Our new Reading story is called Armadillo’s Orange. We will talk about animals that live in an Orange Grove. We will also work with the story element Setting.
Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour this weekend!
Our Personal Safety program will be next we. Please send the form in your child’s folder back only if you do not give permission for them to participate.
We go outside daily. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather! Make sure coats and hats are labeled. We have many that are the same.
