Thank you SO for your super generous donations! The kids are so excited about our new books for the class that support our reading workshop and the decks of cards to play war and other math games.
A few reminders:
1. We have fun new math centers in the works that support your child's math curriculum! We are still in need of many "clear, large 8x11 Steralite Click Boxes" to organize these math centers. Please See Amazon Wishlist for better description of boxes. Thank you SO much!
2. With all our writing, illustrating, arts, and crafts, we also desperately need donations of crayons and glue sticks for our classroom!

What We're Learning
- Math: A fun game that we have been practicing at school is "War" with a deck of cards (face cards removed). Play this at home to help your child practice number ID, and concepts such as: more than, less than, equal to. We continue to practice ID 2D & 3D shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, hexagon, sphere, cylinder, cube, cone), ID colors, days of the week, patterns, days in school/beginning place value. We are practicing sorting by color, shape, and size, counting 0-5 objects, writing numbers 0-5, counting to 30, counting by 10's, counting by 5's.
- Language Arts: Letter/Sound of the week Mm.
- Sight Words: Your child should be able to read, write, and spell the following sight words that we have studied over the past few weeks: a, the, I, see, my, go, to, like, can, look, you. This week's sight word is 'went'. Please practice reading and spelling these sight words at home as well as writing them in sentences! Make flashcards, play a memory card game, do practice spelling tests, do back tracing, etc.
- Writers Workshop: This week we will start our unit on writing Pattern Books. We are also working hard on sounding out words phonetically in our stories. Please do not tell your child how to correctly spell the word. Instead, encourage them to "say it like a snail, stretch it like a snake, write down the sounds you hear." Your child may want to practice writing stories at home too...attach them to your homework for extra credit! Writing is meant to be a fun activity so keep it positive!
