Patterns, Patterns, Patterns!

Last week we started our new Math Chapter- Patterns. We practiced making movement patterns and music patterns last week. In the picture on the left Jacob and James are making music patterns. You can practice patterns at home by using cereal, noodles, or toys! You can have your child draw patterns using markers, crayons or paint. Please practice AB, AAB, ABB, and ABC patterns with your child. In the picture below Mackenzie and Emma are extending patterns on the board. We will also continue to practice counting form 1-31 and reciting the days of the week an months of the year. Ask you child to sing the days of the week and months of the year for you (if they haven't already)!

In Language Arts we have learned letters and sounds Aa-Ww. Please practice these letters and the sounds they make on a daily basis. We will be creating a podcast of our alphabet chant in the next few days! We are continuing working on the sight words- I, am, the, little. I will introduce the remaining sight words next week. Once your child knows all of the Unit 1 sight words please return them so your child can be tested at school. We are also reviewing, character, setting, and sequence.

As always, thank you for your support and cooperation!
