Our Language Arts theme for January is variations on “Winter.” This week we will read “The Snowy Day” and other snow related books. We continue to review and practice identifying single letters, one word, and a whole sentence when we read. We are also focusing on reading comprehension, relating to the content and remembering what has been read.
Our poem is by Shel Silverstein and it is funny. The children will enjoy it.
The letter of the week is “L.” The pictures for the alphabet dictionary are due by Thursday.
While we are continuing to investigate numbers to 30, we are also beginning to do manipulative addition, simple addition using math counters. We will get to paper and pencil addition shortly.
The children brought home their report cards on Friday. I am happy to meet with anyone who has burning questions or comments. Simply send me an e-mail or a written note and we can set up a time. Please be sure to sign the signature card and return it in the envelope which we will use again in March. Keep the report card for your baby books.
I hope you are taking advantage of the long weekend to get together the 100th day projects. Keep it simple. The children love to present their projects. I will take advantage of the photo opportunity to document their presentations. The projects are due any day they are ready during the week of January 23rd. The actual 100th day is Friday, January 27th.
Thank you so much to the folks who sent in the disinfecting wipes. We appreciate your prompt response to our request.
Another simple request: the children seem to love to write notes and put them in envelopes to give to recipients. Mrs. Saeger and I have depleted our personal resources of spare envelopes. If anyone has extra envelopes they could donate, they will be used up in a short time!! They are a great incentive to practice phonetic, independent writing.
Thanks for checking the blog. I hope you had a delightful and peaceful extra day off. The bonus B.U.G.S. ticket word is “MLKing.”
