Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (week of January 17)
Homework For The Week:
*There will be NO Show and Tell Next Week*
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: ½ sheet, decodable reader, and Math number practice
Our letter next week will be Uu like Umbrella. We only have one short vowel to go and then we will start learning how to use the long vowel sounds. There will be No Show and Tell; this letter is a bit more difficult to find words and pictures to go along with it. Please continue to review all letters, sounds, and Word List 8.
The new reading story is “See How We Grow”. Please send in a baby picture of your child (please put your child’s name on the back) for a class project. We will be comparing the baby pictures, this year’s picture, and having them predict what they will look like in the future. The pictures will be returned in a few weeks after we have had them on display.
In Math, we will be working on numbers to 20. We will also be enclosing some practice cards for number identification practice. The cards will be placed in the practice each night and bring right back sleeve of the folder. Some ideas for number practice include: counting to 100, counting by 10’s, identifying numbers on signs, books, menus, or anywhere!, writing numbers with paint, soap, foam, markers, crayons, etc., putting numbers in order, making number patterns. If you need other ideas for making numbers fun, please let us know!
We will be seeing a Rand Whipple Show on Thursday, January 20. It will be in the gym in the afternoon. Make sure to ask your child all about it!
Report cards will be sent home: Friday, January 21. Please sign and return as soon as possible.
