Wow we have been very busy these past few weeks learning many new things. We have now been doing Daily 5 on our own and are doing a great job at making choices. You might have also noticed your child has been bringing home math packets. This is the work that they complete during math centers. Its important that you are having conversations with them about their work and what they are doing in class.
In phonics we have started working on letter sounds and matching pictures to that sound. We also continue to work on letter ID as well as letter writing. We just finished learning how to write all of our letters, so your child will be bringing home their ABC book soon.
In writing we now know what a writer does, who a writer is, and what a writer uses. We have been writing daily and putting our worker in our writing binders. At this time we like to see that the students can draw a picture that matches what they are telling us. We also work on coloring in the lines, filling in white spaces, and using the appropriate colors for what we are drawing.
During math centers are focus for all of the groups is number ID and writing along with patterns and shapes. Your child is practicing this through many different activities and games. They seem to really enjoy math centers!
If you have not already done so, please turn in your field trip money and signed forms asap.
