Our new Phonics letter is D as in dog. We will alphabetize, identify the initial, medial, and final sounds in words and practice identifying letters out of order.

Dinosaur Report
To help us learn about different dinosaurs we will be doing reports. We are looking for your child to know the name of their dinosaur, 2 or 3 facts about it, and a picture. Students will present their report to the class.

In Math we will make ABBC patterns using pattern blocks, divide by sharing, compare numbers through 10, identify right and left, and explore tangrams.

Our new Reading story is called If You Could Go to the Antarctic? We will talk about what it would be like to take an adventure to the Antarctic. We will classify and categorize animals that live in the water, land and on both. We have some really fun centers planned to go along with this story.

We are so proud of the progress that our students are making in their Kid Writing. We write in our journals daily. Sometimes students are given prompts and other times they write about whatever they want. The stories and illustrations are filled with details and interesting thoughts. Great Job!

We are having so much fun with our new Science Unit called Wood and Paper. We have been observing wood samples and conducting experiments. We are keeping track of our findings in our Science Journal.
