Wow...it's December. Where has the year gone?! We are almost half way through our school year and your kids are doing super. Most students are starting the reading process and have a little book that they are bringing home to read. If your child has not received a bag, we will continue to practice/master the letters and sounds and they will receive one after break. Last week we learned about the letters Q and U. The kids practiced a little poem about those letters and "sticking like glue"...see if they can recite it for you. This week we will be working with letters J and Y. In math we will continue to work on numbers through 20 and will move our way up to 30 before the holiday break. Last week we also started our winter benchmark testing for DIBELS. The students have made a lot of progress so I think we will all be thrilled with their growth.
We have started learning about the winter season and holidays celebrated during the month of December. There will be several projects coming home in the next 2 weeks...I am sure you will enjoy them as much as your child enjoyed making them. We have our holiday party scheduled for Thursday, December 16th, more information will be coming home about that this week. If you have any questions about the activities going on in class or would like to come in and help, you are always welcome to join us!
