We Know Them All!

We have finally learned all 26 letters and their sounds! We are now moving on to the special sounds we find while reading, beginning with the long vowel sounds. We also started focusing on the numbers 11-20 in math. Please practice counting this week at home.

In the Money

This week we are studying our final letter of the week, Q. You can work on money as well as Q this week with the quarter (and the other coins). We are still learning subtraction as well as working hard on reading.

Spring Break

We will have conferences Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week we will be off for Spring Break. Have a great time!

In like a Lion, Out like a Lamb

This week we are working on the letter W. An easy way to work on this sound is to talk about the weather with your child. Lots of weather words start with w: weather, wind, warm, wet (rain), white (clouds), etc. We will also be starting subtraction.

Dr. Seuss Week

It's Dr. Seuss Week!

This week we are celebrating a beloved author, Dr. Seuss. We will be dressing up, reading lots of his books, and having a fun time! We are studying the letter X this week so a perfect book you can read at home is Fox in Socks by none other than Dr. Seuss!

Jiggly Jello

This week we are continuing to study addition in math. We are also learning the letter J. An easy way to reinforce this letter and sound is to talk about food: how jelly and jam both come in jars or how Jello will jiggle. Don't forget to have your child read the word list that comes home!
