It's hard to believe we have been in school for 22 days. The letters we will be focusing on are Hh, Ii, Mm and Aa. Don't forget to send in the cut out pictures each week. We had 100% returned this week which is awesome. We are learning rhyming words. You can play rhyming games and have your child come up with words that rhymes. They have a hard time hearing the sounds and how they are alike. Example red/bed or black/snack
We are saying good by to Jakob McGraw today as he is moving to Sedalia Park Elementary. Good luck to him and his family. We'll miss him.
We will be finishing up our study of animals next week. We will study the changes in the season, Apples , farms and scarecrows for the remainder of the month.
In social studies we will study about where we live, address and phone #. We have studied the American Flag and will look at the Georgia Flag. The Pledge of Allegiance has been learned by all . We will work on the Star Spangled Banner all year. Ask your child about Labor Day. We talked about it yesterday and today.
In math we will be learning the numbers 1-10 and the ordinals first thru tenth. They need to write the numerals correctly, match objects to the number and recognize each numeral by name out of order. We have learned the value of a penny and now we will learn about nickels. We will learn how to trade 5 pennies for a nickel.
I am sending home a baggy with the first set of sight words already cut out in pairs. You can play match games with them. They need to know 10 of the words by the end of the first quarter. Look for them in their book bags on Tuesday.
Please continue to return library books when they are finished. I try to take them for another one as soon as it is returned.
Have a restful weekend and holiday and I'll look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.
