We will not begin a new letter this week in Phonics due to the short week. • Please continue to review the letters we have covered at home. • We will continue working on patterns in Math and we are also going to learn about ordinal numbers, and even explore acting out story problems. • In reading we will be starting the story Dig, Dig, Digging. Our focus skills for unit one are story setting, characters, sequence, and comparing and contrasting the story elements. The genre is a concept book. • We began our writing program titled Kid writing. Several times during the week we work in small groups writing stories. Once we complete several pieces I will send home your child’s writing for you to keep and enjoy. When I am working individually with some students, the other children are working in learning centers that are designed around some of the concepts that we have covered so far. It is very exciting to watch the children grow into writers! • Thursday Oct. 11th will be the Fall Festival. The children can wear the clothes that they would wear for Gym class or dress code attire. We will be outside very early in the day, so remember a jacket for the cool mornings. Sneakers are a must!!!! • Congratulations to Ava Karabinas for earning student of the month. • Now that the colder weather is approaching, please make sure you have name labels in your child’s jackets and coats to avoid confusion .Also please practicing zippering and buttoning jackets for recess.
