Dear Families,

Here are some brief highlights from the week:

Reading- letter name, keyword and sound-t,b,f

        - sight word I and a

        -concepts of print, reading buddies, linking

         pages using and, rereading and keeping track,

         reading pictures using our fingers.

Math- counting using movement, calendar, routines,

       simple addition, writing numerals.

Writing- table captains, writing routines, how to find

         tools, when you are done you have just begun,

         writing like writers do-think, draw, write, we

         are all writers and readers.

Social Studies- literature and discussion about assertion,

                 responsibility and empathy, role play

                 problem solving strategies.

Science-Harvesting carrots and watering the garden

         with Nurse Amy.

Lots of playing outside and inside the classroom, read alouds, interactive writing and reading and shared writing and reading.  Many shared stories, laughter and fun. I can hardly wait to come to school in the morning.
