Nov. 29- Dec.3

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving spent with family and friends! Here's what's happening this week:

Literacy
We are talking about the letter Cc. Our alphafriend is Callie Cat. We really only hit on the hard /k/ sound for c. You can discuss the soft /s/ sound with your child, but they won't get formal instruction on that until first grade.
Our word this week is to. We talked about how there are more than one spelling of the word and the other meanings, so please help reinforce this at home.
We cleaned out our writing folders today. We are really going to focus on being able to read the stories that we write, so please have your child read his/her stories to you if they can.

Math
We have started a new chapter this week on geometry. We talked today about the solid shapes: cube, cylinder, cone, pyramid, sphere, and rectangular prism. This topic is just introduced in kindergarten and will be assessed in first grade. The rest of the week we will be talking about plane shapes: triange, rectangle, square, and circle.

Early Out
Please remember that tomorrow is an early out day. The kids will be dismissed at 2:18.
