Newsletter for Week 6 (Recap & NEW info)!
What we did during our week:
Language Arts and Writing: We worked on recognizing and writing the letter E and the letter V. Click on the link (on the letters) we learned this week! I have attached the videos we watch in class to guide us in our learning! Also, make sure to ask your child what sound each letter makes.
We have been working more on our writing. I am sure you have noticed a difference in your child’s writing; I know I have! We are practicing stretching out the sounds in a word and using some inventive spelling during our writer’s workshop. If your child is coming home and trying to stretch out the sounds, that is wonderful news! It means they are one step closer to becoming a leader in reading and writing!
Math: We practiced recognizing, writing and representing numbers 11 and 12. **Again, we now have math seeds! Please start to use this at home in addition to reading eggs. The login and password is the same for math seeds! Everyone’s password is: kind. We’ve been having fun with our Halloween math centers this week: we have been working on tens frames, and one-to-one correspondence with numbers during our math centers. I have attached some pictures for your viewing pleasure!
Science: We have moved onto our next science unit – push and pull! Ask your child what the difference is between push and pull. They should be able to show you the difference:)
Social Studies: We are still working on how to get along with others by using the words like, “please,” “thank you” and using their words to express their feelings.
Housekeeping items:
- Thank you all the families that showed up to our parent meeting! I hope you were able to take away some ideas to better help engage your child at home with reading and writing!
- Costume parade has been changed to October 31st, on Halloween! More information to follow!
- We have yet again, missed another book check out date. Please make sure your child is not leaving their book in their locker. Books should stay in their backpacks or a safe place at home until the next check out date. Thank you!
- I hope you have went over the letter/sound handout that went out Thursday, with your child! Please use this handout to better help support your child’s needs at home.
- Our classroom celebration fund is due next Friday! We are asking all families to donate $10 (or more) to our classroom fund to help lessen the cost of our classroom parties! Thank you in partnering with me to make this year an eventful one for our children! BIG thank you to the parents who have already made a donation to our fund! We thank you!
