                      I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday!  Thanks again for sharing your wonderful children with me.  We have a super group and each child is progressing and contributing to our class.  Thanks for helping and supporting them at home!

         We started our addition chapter in math last week and it is exciting to see the students adding numbers within 5.  We have discussed how addition means to put together or add to something.

         In Language Arts, the students are recognizing, isolating, and writing spellings for short vowel sounds and consonant sounds.  They can distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ: for example, peg, pig, pin, pen.

         Science continues to be a favorite as we hypothesize what will happen in various experiments and we have learned about our five senses and how we use them in our every day lives.

         Have a wonderful week!

          Please have your child tell you his/her phone number and birthday. Also, please continue to help them write their last name.  It is fun to see the progress each student is making and thank you again for helping to make their learning process a success!  You are amazing parents and your support is greatly appreciated!

         Maybe during the Thanksgiving break, you could have your child read and write the following sight words for you! J  me, see, I, can, like, look, here, the, can, go, run.

         Enjoy your holiday and take care!

Friday Treat Day Assignment

Nov. 18 — AM Class: Drew Nelson

PM Class:  Elena Mellor

Early Literacy Idea

Have your child dictate a story to you as you write it.

News

          Thank you for your continued support at home!  It is great that the homework and reading books come back consistently.  You are wonderful parents.  It is exciting to see the progress your children are making.

         We will continue to work hard at school and learn important foundational skills that will help the students throughout their educational experiences.  The students understand that written letters and spoken sounds go hand in hand in learning how to read.  They can figure out the number that makes 10 from any given number 1 through 9 as well as count forward beginning from a given number within the sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).  They can make a scientific hypothesis and determine what the reasoning is behind their prediction. These are just a few of the experiences we are having in our classroom.  Thank you for sharing your children with me!  They are a delight!

         If you would like to send a box of crackers with your child for a snack to share with our class, that would be great.  Of course, this is optional!

Early Literacy Idea

Recognize and accept the stages of your child’s writing.  Remember drawing, copying letters, and beginning to spell words are ALL writing.

News

          Thanks again for sharing your wonderful children with me.  We have a super group and each child is progressing and contributing to our class.  It is great that the homework and take-home reading books come back consistently.  If you haven’t already done so, please remember to fill out and send the October calendar back.  Reading is such a great way to help your child be successful in school!

         We will continue to work hard and have fun in math, language arts, science, and social studies.  Art, P.E., music, library and computers are all important in our week as well. The growth that is happening with each student is exciting.

         As it starts to get colder, please make sure your child’s name is on his/her coat or jacket.  There is a Lost and Found by the lunchroom if your child is missing one.

         Take care and have a super week!
