Hello Families!
Can you believe this is our last week before our Winter Break? This week is a short one but super busy. Please continue to work with your children at home on everything we are working on in class. The long break is a great opportunity to practice all the skills we are working on in class. You and your child can practice their names, the 14 letters we have learned (uppercase and lowercase) and shapes. Please take the time away from school to enjoy the winter weather, your families and all the activities you might want to do!
What We Are Learning…
Names-
We are learning to recognize the letters in our name and the order the letters go in. Please practice on recognizing the letters in your child’s name and the order in which they go (Rajaa- R-a-j-a-a). If your child knows the letters in their name and the order they go in, please continue working on writing their name. The first letter in their name is the only letter to be a capital, all the rest are lowercase (Rajaa).
Letters-
We are learning 2 new letters this week! Students will learn to identify the letters, the sound, recognize the letter in print and write the letter on their own. Don’t forget to practice previously learned letters.
