Week of September 11, 2017

A BIG thank you to all the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles …. that were able to attend Open House.  It was so nice to talk with so many of you.  This week we had our first visit to the Library.  Mrs. Children read us a story and we learned where some of our favorite books are located in the library.  We can check out a book every week, as long as we bring back the previous week’s book.  We continued to work together on ways to be a good friend, and how we can help each other learn.  Be sure to check out pictures on our blog of us during cooperative activities.  We built puzzles, read books, and figured out math problems using cubes. 

Don’t forget to send your child’s towel and bag back on Monday!

Religion:  This week we learned about Gods gifts of day, night and creation of the sky.  We also learned that God created the word because of love for life and beauty.
Language Arts:  We continued our first reading/writing book focused on the sound letter C makes.  Please continue to work with your child on writing their capital and lowercase “c”, as well as their name.  Your child will be coming home next week with a reading book each night.  Monday through Thursday are reading group books that we read in class and then the books come home so you can practice reading with them.  Please be sure to RETURN THE BOOK EVERY DAY.  We need them the next day for guided reading.  On Friday’s your child will bring home a book of their choice to enjoy over the weekend.  Be sure look for your SuperKids e-mail this weekend so your child can continue to practice reading!  Initially only books will show up, but as we continue learning sounds, games will appear to reinforce skills we are learning.
Math:  This week we continued to work on counting and writing numbers 2, 3 and 4.   We are counting to 30, and started practicing counting by 10’s.
Social Studies:  We continued working on celebrating our differences and similarities.  We read books and discussed how to be a good friend and how to share.
