March 7-11

With the craziness of last week I never got an update for you all! Sorry about that! Here's what's going on this week:

Literacy
We are focusing on the letter Xx with our letter friend being Mr. X-ray. With the letter x we talk more about words that have x in them since there aren't many words that start with the letter x!
Our word wall word is: said
We are still talking about the -ot family this week, but also adding in the -op family. We will be playing a couple fun games with these words!
In writing we are talking about word choice. Last week we focused on adding details to our stories by using color words, size words, feeling words, and sound words. This week we are talking about using transition words (first, next, last, then) and also about how we should start sentences with different words (not always I!).

Math
We will continue to work on adding this week. We will be drawing pictures, using cubes, using dominoes and writing number sentences. At this stage we would like them to be using some sort of manipulatives or drawing to solve the addition sentences.

Spring
Even though is doesn't seem very springy right now, we have started talking about spring. I'm hoping if we do some spring activities it will encourage the weather to change!

Thank You!
Thank you all for coming to conferences last week. I had 100% participation!! I don't think I've ever had that! It means a lot to me and your child that you are interested and care about their education!

Have a great week!
