This week, we observed our butterflies turn into chrysalides. We named our six caterpillars too! We have Wickit Thor, Fluffy, Snowball, Webby, Spikey, and Luna! Now we observe and wait.
We are working on comparing numbers and counting by 5's. We are working on moving past knowing the song and connecting the number we are saying to the visual presentation of the number and its location in the counting sequence. We are learning to make tallies. We read a fun book called Tally O'Malley. A fun way to reinforce this skill is to challenge your child to tally some items...socks, cans, chairs, pets, shoes...etc. We read a lot about apples, and we will continue that theme for a bit next week! The children are doing a great job in their instructional time and in practicing the skills through assignments. This upcoming week will be our last week of the Smart Start component of our literacy work. We will finish reviewing our letter sounds and our initial sight words. We are working on visualizing (making pictures in our minds) as we read or listen to stories. This week they will be continuing this skill during class time and during remote practice time. Thank you for all that you are doing. You are an integral part of your child's learning success, and they are off to a successful start! Comments are closed.
