Reading

We have spent a lot of our mini-lessons on working with the syllables in words.  The students have had a great time clapping out the sounds in the words and stating how many syllables they hear.  Ask them to do this at home and see how well they are doing.   We also are beginning to discuss the initial sounds you hear in words.  This can be a tricky thing to understand.  We will say a word slowly and try to hear what the first sound in the word is.  Please work on this at home as it takes a lot of practice to pick up on this skill.

Math

During our math time we have been reading, writing, and counting items to 5.  The counting has been pretty simple but sometimes writing our numbers can get a little tricky.  So we have number poems we have been using and they our in our BEE folders for you to use at home also.  We also worked on our ordinal numbers to the fifth.  We had a lot of fun lining up this way.  Ask about some of these things! 

 

More Areas

We are very busy in our writing time lately.  We really are trying hard to get all our handwriting done so we can begin working on sentences.  We are making our way through the uppercase and will do numbers then work to lowercase.  We also have been finishing some sentences and creating pictures to go along with them.  We keep some of class books and others we bring home to share with you.
