Focus for week of Sept 19-23

Reading:

So many of our kids have mastered all their letter sounds or are so close. Please keep working with them at home with our zoo phonics cards.

Identifying beginning sounds in words.

Introduce High Frequency words (I, like)

Segmenting two to three sounds in a word.

Comprehension – identify characters in the story

Math:

Working on number quantities 0-15

One to one correspondence

Order numbers 0-20

Counting 0-30

Writing:

Draw a pictures and label parts

Please make sure you are signing your child’s calendar every day. If they do not have a stamp or have colored their behavior they WILL NOT HAVE FUN FRISDAY!!!

Yee Ha

If your child come home saying they got a YEE HA today that means they were tested on their letter sounds and were able to give them all in a random order.
If they did get this honor please begin to work on our next goal which is letter names and sounds in random order.

So far we are doing great, and I am sure we will make our goal. As you remember I wanted all the children to master all their sounds by the end of the first quarter. The end is in just two weeks.

Thank you for all your help and support!!!!!!!!

lockdown

We had our lockdown this morning and it went well. Some of our students had a hard time being completely quiet but for the most part it was a good first run.

This week

We have a lock down drill scheduled for Sept 14 I am not sure of the time.

W have at least half our class that have mastered most if not all of their letter sounds. Please keep practicing with your child. If you child already knows all their letter sounds start practicing letter name with the sounds. After this week we only have 5 more letters to go and then we will move into word families.

If your are planning on helping at any time during the school year including field trips please see the office for a volunteer packet. If that has not been done and turned in you will not be able to assist us on a field trip.

We are planning our first field trip some time in November.
