Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter
Weeks of December 18, 2017 and January 2, 2018

*This is the last newsletter of 2017 as we will be continuing topics after the Christmas break. *

***In Math, we are continuing Topic 4, Comparing and Ordering Numbers 0-10.   We will learn how to compare and order numbers   0-10.  Our new math words include: greater, less.  You can practice identifying numbers 0-10 and putting them in order.  You could also practice picking a number between 0-10 and identifying what comes before and after the number.  Please practice counting to 100 and writing numbers with correct formation.
***In Reading, our new story is: George Washington Visits and we will discuss cause and effect in the story. Our new amazing words are: celebration, soldier, barn, arch, sprinted, blacksmith.  We will be working on identifying initial and final sounds in words.  We will also recite rhymes and work on producing rhyming words.
  ***Science and Social Studies-  We will look at characteristics of winter and what plants and animals do during winter.  We will also examine different habitats of animals and their climates.
***Handwriting/Writing- We are finishing up the last few lowercase letter formations and we will be reviewing capital and lowercase letter formations throughout the rest of the school year.  We have been formulating complete thoughts into a sentence around a topic.  We have been talking about capital letters at the beginning, lowercase letters throughout the writing, 2 finger spaces in between words, and punctuation at the end as well as sounding out words as we write.

***From our school family to yours- We hope that you have a lovely holiday break and enjoy the time with your family.  Best wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year.  We are excited to see the continued progress for the remainder of the school year and appreciate the hard work and cooperation thus far.  Happy Holidays! ***
