We have been working on sorting, categorizing, and classifying. Tomorrow, we will work with a favorite story, and go on a hunt to find and categorize an item! Be sure that your children are dressed for the weather, because we will be heading outside early, and it's pretty chilly in the a.m.
Your children did a great job with last week's spelling pattern. Spelling assessments will come home tomorrow. This week's pattern builds upon last week's. This week they will work with the r controlled patterns of ir, ur, and or. This is very tricky. A few more minutes of home practice will help your child to really own this spelling concept...not just for the test, but for a lifetime. We have had an increase in toys coming to school and becoming a distraction. We have lots of fun things to do here at school and fun things to work and play with. Toys at school run a high risk of being lost or broken on the school playground, and when this happens, children are devastated. Personal toys are best left at home. We also have a very sweet thing happening here at school, but I'd like to see this activity also be reserved for play dates. The children love to give things to each other. This is very sweet and generous, but can become problematic, as other children feel left out. Sometimes too, they just give away an item, and I'm not sure if it has been cleared with a parent. Please encourage your child to save these special gift times for special together time. Your child's classroom birthday celebration time is a great time for your child to create or collect a special item to distribute to all class members. Please see my birthday tab for more information. Your child learned quite a bit about the United States last week. we are focusing on learning the difference between a continent, a country, a state, and a town. This is tricky for them. Our United States booklet went home with lots of facts about our country. This week, we will learn about New Hampshire. Looking forward to a fun week of learning and growing! Comments are closed.
