Well, we have made it through our first two weeks with flying colors. The students are doing great and we are perfecting our classroom routines and school behaviors. This week we introduced the letters M and S. We spent all week recognizing words that start with these letters as well as practiced writing the letters. I am sure you have seen our letter papers in your child's folder. Each day while going through the folder please converse with your child about their day and review concepts that will be found throughout the paperwork your child brings home. I also ask that you initial or sign off on the Character Always Card (behavior log). I know most of you are looking through the work, but have not signed off on the log...please do so on a daily basis. Thank you! In math we have been working on numbers 0-5. Next week will will begin working in our math textbooks continuing with numbers through 5. The kids are looking forward to this. At home you can practice by having your child write the numbers as well as count various objects 0-5.
Next Friday your child will be bringing home their first homework packet of the year. It will be pretty self explanatory, but if you should have questions please ask. This week I would love if each family would work on writing first names, numbers 0-5 and the letters M & S (upper and lowercase). This support at home will help your child master the skills necessary to move forward with our learning. I hope all of you have a restful weekend. See you on Monday-
