Reading:

We have been working very hard in our Daily’s every morning.  We now have all 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 words, word wall words, 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 5, writing numbers to 5, ordering numbers to 5, and comparing numbers.  We have been very busy.  Please work on ordinal numbers to five, 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.  J

Writing:

We have been very busy working on our lower case letters these past weeks.  We are working on 2 letters each day with our Friday writing time being spent on reviewing the letters we have learned.  Practice these as they come home also! 

Helpful Hints:

    Begin practicing working on two letter words with your child like if, it, is, etc.

    Start looking at the numbers in the teens for your child to recognize.
