Reading

We have been working very hard in our Daily’s every morning.  We now have all 5 of them in place and do three each morning for 20 minutes.  While the students are doing their Daily’s I am working with small groups on a variety of reading skills.  Some are working on letters, sounds, blending, and reading books.  Keep working hard at home on all these skills.  It will show in the classroom!

Math

We have spent the last 2 weeks working on counting to 10, writing numbers to 10, comparing numbers to 5 and 10, and finally ordering numbers to 10.  We have been very busy.  Please work on ordinal numbers to 10 as this is very hard for the students.  Also please continue to practice writing numbers at home as we do occasionally still write them backwards.  

SS/Sci/Health

We have been busy in these areas for the past two weeks.  In SS we have been working on homes and Christopher Columbus.  In Health, the students are wrapping up feelings and have been working on how to express when they are worried.  Finally in Science, the students are still working on trees and now have moved on to discussing the parts.
