Week 7

Last week, we identified the different vowel sounds either short, long, or dotted vowel sounds to help students easily read the written words.  We memorized a song that helps us remember the sounds of each vowel sound.  Ask your child to sing it for you.  In math, we started addition.  Please get out math flash cards and practice at home.  Also, continue writing numbers in order to 100.  On Thursday, we had our first Spectra artist begin working on clay.  We made ice cream bowls with animal footprints.  If you would like to help out on Thursdays from 9:40-10:40 for the next eight weeks, we would love to see you.

This week, we will begin our science unit on Seasons.  In math, we will continue with addition.  Please use games or other strategies to bring math into your daily routine.  For the next two weeks, we will read Jasper's Beanstalk.   Please ask your child about their thoughts on the story and the different story elements.  Please remember to bring library books on Tuesday.  We had to many books not returned last Wednesday and the Librarian will not allow us to check out books if this continues!
