Dear Parents,

I can not believe the first grading period is over already.  Your children have done a great job of learning rules and school routines. 

We have learned position words, sorting, classifying, and making patterns.  Our next chapter will be about understanding concepts of more, fewer, one-to-one correspondence, and numbers 0-5. We will continue morning meeting.  This is where we learn about the calendar, learn the days of the week and months of the year.  We also work on our counting skills, graph our weather, and count money.  (sol 1,2a,2b,2c,3,5, 12,29 )

In reading, we have finished letter recognition, and we will now begin to explore each letter and its sound.  Our story for this week is titled Mouse Mess  by Linnea Riley.  Our letter of the week is Mm.  High frequency words, a and the, will be introduced.  We will be working on the comprehension skill of recall/retell. (sol 3,4,8)

In Science we will be learning about magnets.  (Sol k.3)

Just a reminder that the children are permitted to bring a healthy snack.  Our lunch time is quite late and the children have been hungry.

Please be sure to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. My numbers are (school)731-3652 or (home) 381-0317.

Thank you for all you do to help your child.

Thank you,

Mrs. Anderson
