October 24-28

Literacy
This week we are working on the letter Nn and our alphafriend is Nyle Noodle. Talk with your child about words that start with the /n/ sound as we will be making a list on Friday!
Our word wall words this week are: yes, no. Work with your child on how to spell these words.
In writing this week we are really focusing on writing words. We are counting the words in our sentences and using the word wall to help spell words correctly.

Math
In math we are continuing to make patterns. When working with your child on homework encourage them to create patterns beyond an AB pattern. Challenge them to create a pattern using three different shapes. We are also going to keep working on the numbers 6-10 by making 5-groups to show them with pattern blocks.

Health
We are talking about drug safety in health this week. We'll talk about how to keep your body healthy by:
1. only taking medicine from a trusted adult
2. only taking medicine that is for YOU
3. alert an adult if you find medicine
4. drugs and alcohol are bad for your body!
This week is also Red Ribbon Week, so don't forget the themes of the rest of the week:
Wednesday ~ Stomp Out Drugs = wear boots or slippers
Thursday ~ Hugs, Not Drugs = bring a SMALL stuffed animal
Friday ~ Put a Cap on Drugs = wear your favorite hat!
