Phonics
As we work
through our Spalding phonics program we will spend this week studying beginning
and ending sounds, correct pencil grip, proper handwriting elements, rhyming
words, a new phonogram every day! (o, c, a, d, f, g, s) and so much more!
Literature
In literature we will discuss
directionality, parts of a book, author and illustrator roles, characters,
setting, and author’s purpose while studying the beloved story: The Kissing
Hand.
Singapore
Math
This
week we will continue our unit on matching and sorting based upon color,
pattern, and type. We will discuss
identical vs. similar, identify objects that belong to a particular group and
why, sort and classify by attribute.
Important Updates:
Supplies: Thank you for bringing us so many wonderful supplies to help
aid in your child’s learning this year! Remember, our focus is on learning so
please avoid pop culture references on
water bottles, backpacks, and lunch boxes. Thanks!
Snacks: It
will help greatly if you can pack your child's snack in a Ziploc bag or
other container that is separate from the lunch box. Storing it in an
easily accessible part of the backpack will help our transitions go much
more quickly and smoothly.
Uniforms: Uniform checks begin on Monday! Please be dressed in the
appropriate uniform. Everything looked good this week so keep it up! Help your
child learn to independently tuck-in
their shirts and tie their own shoes! If you have questions, refer to the Family Handbook.
Phonogram Cards: We highly recommend purchasing Spalding Phonogram cards as this
will aide in your child’s success in reading and writing and will be used
Kinder through 3rd grade. You can order at the following link. Thanks!
