Notes~

v Continue working on the sounds each letter makes

v Practice writing the upper and lower case letters.

v Practice counting to see how far your child can go.

v Work on rhymes.  You say a word and your child will tell you a word that rhymes with it.

What We Are Learning~

The last 2 weeks we have been working on our Daily 5.  We are working on having all of the five dailies in place and working in our classroom.   We do Read to Self, Work on Writing, Listen to Reading, Word Work, and Read to Someone.   They are doing a very nice job on these.  During Read to Self the students read to themselves books they have picked.  During Work on Writing we write in our journals and practice our writing.  Also we have been working on rhyming and beginning sounds.  It is always a good thing to practice with your child. Ask your child about all of our work during the Daily 5.

We have been working very hard on our counting and writing skills to 10 in math.  The students are spending a lot of time working on making these numbers correctly and counting carefully.  It can be tricky!
