September 20-24

Hello, all! I hope you enjoyed your cool weekend! I'm ready for fall to start, but it looks like I might have to wait! Here's what's happening this week in our classroom:

Literacy
We are focusing on the letter Ss this week. The kids learned about Sammy Seal today. They found the letter s and colored a picture with lots of s items! You could ask your child to tell you some words that start with the letter s because on Friday we'll make a list of all the words we can think of! In small groups we will be working on writing names. All the kids got to come to my table today and trace their name with 4 different colors. We called it rainbow writing! Tomorrow we're going to trace our names again, but then also write them on our own! In writing we're talking about how to draw people and things that may seem hard to draw. Please encourage to child to think of stories from his/her life that he/she could draw about. It could be something as simple as eating dinner!

Math
We will be finishing up the pattern unit this week! Yay! In order for you child to get a 3 in this chapter he/she needs to be able to at least make an ABC pattern. Any practice at home using those buttons from the homework bags, or anything else, would definately help your child!

As always, if you have questions or concerns, please call or email me! Have a great week!
