Wow...the weeks are flying by! I apologize for my lack of posts last week. I don't know where the week went?! This week we are off to a great start. The kids are learning about letters G & F. We will practice writing these letters in upper and lower case form as well as work on recognizing them and brainstorming words that begin with these letters. Quiz your child at home to see if they can tell you 3 words that start with each of our new letters. Last week we focused on letters D & N so it would be great to review those as well. In math we are still working with numbers 0-10. It is important for us to master writing and recognizing them before we move on to other math concepts. The kids are doing great, but I ask that you continue to practice these skills at home too.
On Thursday we will be celebrating our first day of fall. In class we will be doing apple prints, some taste testing and an apple dissection. All month we have been learning about the famous fruit so it should be a fun time for all! On Friday, September 24th the Scholastic Book Order will be due. You can go online to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs to see the latest and greatest books for sale. Our class activation code to order online is: GLG4W. You can also send in the paper order form with a check. Each time you order books, our class earns free books...so order today! Homework will also be due on Friday. Each time your child brings in a completed packet they earn a treasure box. This is a reward for all of their hard work. Don't forget your packets!
First quarter is coming to a close and conferences will be here before we know it. If you have a work schedule to accommodate or a conflict with the dates (October 6-8)please let me know in advance and we can schedule a time to meet beforehand. I look forward to meeting with each of you to discuss your child's progress. Well, I think that is all for our latest and greatest classroom news. Your kids are doing super. Thanks for your continued support!
