ooops!

So I realized it's almost Wednesday, and I haven't posted about what's going on this week! Ooops! Sorry! So here it is!

Literacy
We are working on the letter Vv. Our letter friend is Vinnie Volcano. We're also continuing to learn how to sound out words, like cat, man, or top. We are looking at the -ap work family this week to help the kids learn to read and recognize words. Along those lines, we are also learning about the word 'and' this week. You should have gotten the word wall words in your second quarter homework packet. The blue words are the ones the kids need to know for this quarter, so really focus on those, however, once they've mastered those, feel free to move onto the green ones for third quarter.
In writing we are continuing to work on sounding out words and drawing pictures with details.

Math
We are finishing up a chapter 4 this week. I will be assessing the kids by the end of the week on the numbers 6-10. They need to be able to count, recognize, and write those numbers, along with the numbers 0-10. So, be using those number cards, tens frames, and notebooks in the homework bag!

Other
Picture retakes are on Friday, is you would like your child have his/her picture retaken, please have that info sent to me by Friday.

Stone Soup
A note went home yesterday about Stone Soup. We have been reading Stone Soup stories this week, and will be making it next week. I received a few volunteer slips today, so if you do want to volunteer, please send your sheet back! Also, if you can spare, we do need vegetables for the soup so go ahead and send those to school with your child by Monday!
