Fun With Centers!

Learn centers are a great way for students to work together in small groups.  The center activities reflect what we are learning in whole group. We have a writing center, technology center, listening center, guided reading center, math center and word work center. Enjoy the pictures from our first week of centers!

This Week

This week we will finish learning about all of the letters in the alphabet.  If your child is struggling with letter recognition please practice with them each night.  If you are looking for new ways to practice at home, please contact me. 

In Kid Writing we are working on writing complete sentences.  Please encourage your child to write at home!  Remind them to start their sentence with a capital letter, use spaces between their words, and use punctuation at the end of the sentence.  Enjoy the pictures of the journals from today!

In Math we will review numbers 0-5 tomorrow.  We will be having our first Math test on Friday.  Please look over the review sheet that will come home tomorrow.  It will be a good way to study with your child at home before our test.

Here are some pictures from our Popsicle party last Friday!  We earned 10 golden tickets for having HERO behavior!

Kid Writing Fun!

This week in kid writing we will be working on writing complete sentences.  We will use our new sight words to help us build those sentences.  Please encourage your child to write at home.  Remind them to start with a capital letter, leave spaces in between the words, and use punctuation at the end of the sentence.

Please practice the letter flashcards at home with your child.  Letter and sound recognition are extremely important at this point in the year.  Ask your child to sing our alphabet chant.  We have worked on letters A-J so far.

As always, contact me with any questions or concerns!

Painting!

Today we sponge painted apples to help decorate the hallway!

*Reminders*

Please remember to have your child practice writing his/her first name.  Remember that the first letter should be capital and the rest lowercase. 

Please also encourage neat coloring.  Students should be able to color a picture neatly and stay inside the lines.

Send a snack with your child each day.

Encourage HERO behavior in school.  You can refer to the inside of the orange behavior book for our HERO expectations.

Have a great weekend!
