Graphing!

In Math, Chapter 3 will cover numbers 0-5 and graphing.  We also are working on the terms "more" and "fewer". Today we practiced graphing the number of girls and boys in the classroom.  We also graphed our favorite snack--cookies or ice cream.

In Language Arts we are continuing to read lots of fun, new stories.  We are practicing identifying character, setting, and sequence in the stories.  Please set aside some time to read to your child each night.  You can help your child become a successful reader by reading to them!  Please consider visiting the Northampton Public Library.  They have many fun, free activities available for children and families!

We are also working on writing complete sentences.  When writing with your child each night please remind them to start writing on the left side of the page.  Also remind them that the first letter is capital and the rest are lowercase.  Encourage them to leave spaces between each word and a period at the end of the sentence!

Please continue to review the letters and sounds each night.  The quicker they can name the letters and sounds the easier it will be for them to start reading words and sentences.  We just finished Unit 1 today so your child will be receiving the Unit 2 sight words next week.  Please start to work on these words, but also continue to review the words from Unit 1.
