week of September 15, 2014

This week in class:

Math:  We will be finishing positional words such as: in/out, in front of/behind, top/bottom, left/right and demonstrating their meanings.  Thanks for signing and returning the test on shapes so very quickly.  Our next chapter will be analyzing, comparing, and composing shapes.

Reading: Our new story is called: “Plaidypus Lost” and the skill will be focusing on sequencing.  We will identify how many syllables are in words as well as introduce letters: O,P,Q,R,S.  We are also working on syllables, rhymes, and rhythm daily.

 

Science: We complete a weather log daily when we complete the calendar for each day.  We will also be working on making observations and science safety.  Great job on identifying the pattern in our daily calendar!

Reminders:

Please practice the enclosed sight words found in the envelope in the folder.  You may work ahead with your child with the list also located in the sleeve of the folder.  We will be adding 2 new sight words to the envelope.

If an order form comes home and you are interested in ordering from it (for example, a T-shirt) please send the money with the order form in an envelope.

Anyone who has not sent back the PTO Field Trip T-shirt form, please do so right away.  This is a free shirt that is provided by PTO to wear on the Field Trip and they do need the size for your child.

Thanks for sending in snack this week!!!!
