Early Literacy Idea

Talk with your child about everyday happenings.  Ask open-ended questions that require more than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer.  Ask ‘what if’ questions.

Remember our reading goal is 15 minutes a night/five night a week.  Please read to your child and have him/her read to you!  This is so important!  Thanks for all you do!

         Happy early Thanksgiving and thanks again for sharing your wonderful children with me.  We have a super group and each child is progressing and contributing to our class.  Thank you for your dedication to helping your child be successful in school!

         Please continue to ask your child often to tell you the sounds each letter makes as well as the beginning sounds of words.  They are also doing well segmenting sounds and then blending those sounds together to make words.

         Have a nice week and as always, please feel free to contact me any time!

Early Literacy Idea

Have your child retell important parts of the story.  Ask them what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story.

Remember our reading goal is 15 minutes a night/five night a week.  Please read to your child and have him/her read to you!  This is so important!  Thanks for all you do!

         The students are becoming great readers and writers!  We will continue to segment and blend sounds together to make words.  We have covered the following sounds:  a, i, o, c, g, n, h, f, m, d, t, s, v.

         We are learning a lot about the numerals 0-9.  We practice writing each number with symbols and words.  For example, each student can say, “I can write from 0 to 9.  I can write the number 9 and the word nine.” They are also able to identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.

         As it starts getting colder, please make sure your child’s name is on his/her coat or jacket so we don’t loose them. 

         Thank you again for your support!  As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Early Literacy Idea

Have your child predict what a story will be about by looking at the cover and looking at the pages throughout the book.

         Thank you for your continued support at home!  It is great that the homework and reading books come back consistently.  You are wonderful parents and it makes such a difference in your child’s educational experience. It is exciting to see the progress your children are making. 

         We added the word “up” as one of our sight words this week.  The students should also know the sounds for i, a, o, m, n, t, d, c, g, s, h and understand that we can put those sounds together to form words.

         In math, we are focusing on the numerals 8 and 9. The students can count and write with words and numbers.  They are also identifying whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group. 

         Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  THANK YOU!
