As your child may have told you, I was gone today, (my daycare was closed), but they should've had a good with Mrs. S.! Here's the happenings for this week:
Literacy
We are talking about the letter Gg this week. Gertie Goose is our alphafriend, so be looking for some letter Gg art coming home Friday! Our word wall word is ,go, and we will be talking about words in the -ag family. In writing we will continue to discuss and review the conventions of using capital letters and lowercase letters correctly, putting spaces between words, having our pictures match our words, and using punctuation.
Math
We will continue working on numbers through 20 this week. They learned about 19 and 20 today. We will be putting numbers in order and finding missing numbers on a number line.
Other
Sooooooo, the plan was to do a Star of the Week throughout the school year, but I haven't been doing a good job of reminding/letting parents and students know when they are the star. Therefore, we will try starting to do show and tell each Friday so everyone has a chance to share and speak in front of the class. Your child may bring a small item to share on Friday. They need to think about where they got it, what they do with it, and why it's important to them. Let me know if you have any questions!

Oh, My!
So this week has obviously gotten away from me!! Here's what we've done/are doing this week:
Literacy
As I'm sure you've heard, our letter this week is Pp and our alphafriend is Pippa Pig. We are also talking about the -an family. We made of list of -an words today and the kids did great! To go along with that, our word wall word this week is can. If you haven't already, please begin working on the next level of words (yellow) from the homework bag. Almost everyone knows the blue words already!
In writing we've been talking about punctuation and how different punctuation means different things. We use an exclamation mark when we're excited, a period for a statement, and a question mark for a question.
Math
We have moved on to chapter 6 and are talking about numbers 11-20. We are looking at ten frames to identify the numbers and understand the place value of the numbers. Many of the kids are really starting to understand why there is a 1 in the tens place (because one whole ten frame is full)! We will also continue to write numbers 1-20. Please make sure your child is doing this at home. And they can write farther if they want!
Other
I sent home a book order form yesterday. If you would like to order books please return the form and money to me by Friday.
