Fundations: Letters c and o

The handwriting HW page will come home on Tuesday and it is not due until Friday. This allows the children to practice forming the letters correctly in class before taking the homework home. They should be saying the procedure aloud while they form the letters on the homework. Continue to practice the formation and sounds throughout the week. Letter c:C is a plane line round letter.It starts on the plane line.

Reading:  Your child will be exchanging books this week and bringing home new books in his/her reading folder. I understand these books can be hard for the children so feel free to read aloud to them. As I meet with your child for guided reading, he/she will be bringing home books that we read together. This is very exciting and your child should reread this book at night to you.  Your child will get a new sight word this week too in his/her sight word folder. Practice daily.

We are learning about making good book selections/choices, taking care of our books, and “curable interruptions”-how to stay focused when reading is interrupted. 

Writing: This week we will be writing about what we know, special moments, and favorite things to do.

Math:  We will start off the week with some more apple fun. On Friday, we made applesauce and it was so yummy!!  Monday, we are going to have an apple tasting. Children will try red, green, and yellow apple slices and decide which one they liked the best. We will create a pictograph with the results.

We will have our chapter 2 test on Tuesday and  begin Chapter 3. This week we will work on the number 6 and 7. 

Please reinforce writing these numbers at home.

Show and Tell:Show and tell this week. You child may bring an item from home that begins with the letter c or o.Last Names A-L (You have Show and Tell on Tuesdays)Last Names M-Z (You have Show and Tell on Wednesdays)See the Show and Tell page for the letters each week.*Your child can choose either letter for their show and tell item each week!

Star Student: Gavin is our star of the week!! I handed out a schedule. If you did not receive it, let me know. 

Healthy Snack:

Please make sure you pack a SEPARATE snack in your child’s bookbag, even if you should buy lunch. We eat snack around 10:30 am.

Behavior:Students are still trying to earn Brownie Points as a team and fill up their buckets on an individual basis. Please reinforce at home good behavior in class (sitting in his/her seat on the rug nicely, listening when someone is talking and showing respect.)

     

Handwriting: This week’s homework will be the letter c and o worksheet (both sides). Due Friday.Reading: If you haven’t done so, please send in a picture of your child reading a book. 

Read each night! Books will be on one side of their reading folder that they can read at night. Like I stated above, feel free to read aloud to your child.  He/she can read any easier books or the guided reading books that we worked on together in class. Their sight words will be on the other side. Please review those daily and move them to the “learned” side once your child knows them. This folder goes back and forth to school each day.

A math packet will come home daily. It contains the lesson completed in class and also a homework page and lesson review.  Please use those extra pages for some fun practice, playing school, or review.  They are not required to come back to school.  Thank you! Show & Tell: Bring in something that begins with the letter c or o.
