I apologize that I have not been faithful in posting to my website lately. I will do my best to keep up with it for the remainder of the year. With the nice (mostly nice) spring weather lately it has been hard to stay inside and work on the computer :)
This week:
Reading- In reading this week we are focusing on the letter Jj. Of course we are still doing reading centers daily and working on reviewing all letters and sounds as well. We are also continuing to work on rhyming words and determining the initial sound of a word. For example, the initial sound in "cat" is /c/.
Math- This week in math we are working on many skills as review. We are working in small groups with different manipulatives to create our own patterns. We are learning that patterns are not always just an ABABABAB format but can be more complex such as AABBAABB or ABCABC etc.. The students are doing a great job challenging themselves. We are also reviewing number recognition 1-10 and ordinals 1st-10th. Keep practicing letter identification and 1 to 1 counting at home if your child is still struggling to master these skills. These skills will become very important in Kindergarten when the students begin to use numbers for adding/subtracting/story problems.
I had one student ask me (As we changed the calendar from March to April) "So, if it is April now, does that mean it will be sunny?" I answered, "I sure hope so!". I love how a child's mind works. We can only hope that April means it will be sunny from here on out. Just a reminder- If there is snow on the playgroud students are required to have snowpants and boots on to play there. If there is no snow there is no need to send snowpants and boots to school. It is South Dakota and we know how fast weather can chang so thank you for being on top of it and sending the necessary clothing.
Have a great week!
Reminders-
April 2- Wear BLUE to support world Autism day!
