September 19-23

Oops! Time got away from me this week! Here's what's going on this week:

Literacy
We're starting a theme on colors this week. On Monday we read a story called I Need a Lunchbox. It had many different colored items in it! We are also reading a story called, I Went Walking, will read My Favorite Colors, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. You could be asking your child what colors he/she sees as you go through your day!
Since we have previewed all the letters, we are starting our more intense look at the letters. We are now going out of order! This week's letter is Ss and our alphafriend's name is Sammy Seal. Ask your child to sing Sammy's song and look for s's!
In writing we are talking about how to use shapes to draw pictures. Today we talked about how to draw houses and will be talking about people and other hard to draw things!

Math
As you may have seen we have been doing some dot-to-dots this week, working on connecting the dots in order. We will also be working with our graphs with numbers 6-10 and we will also be drawing pictures of ourselves and graphing those!

Interventions
This week is an intervention week instead of correlated instruction. This is a time when we are grouping kids together by what skills they need to work on. Right now we have two groups: those who need to work on letter identification and those who need to work on letter sounds. The kids are doing a great job switching rooms and playing some fun letter games!

If you have any questions please let me know!
