Hello Parents and families!
It has been a wonderful
start to the year and the children are learning our routines very well. I will
be sending a newsletter home every week on Thursday to fill you in on any
special events as well as our weekly topics. This way you will be able to continue
support at home. Don’t forget "Meet the Teacher Night" on September 6th.
I look forward to meeting everyone!
This week we:
- · Worked in centers. Our centers centered on spelling, phonics, and sentence building. Ask your children to speak in complete sentences, and think about what they read and see.
- · Worked on our writing skills in language arts. The children have been practicing writing sentences correctly: i.e. punctuation, capitalization, and simple spelling errors.
- · Began learning about communities in social studies. Ask you children what ways they can participate in their community and point out community based events and parks.
- · Did math in various areas. We started with our number sense, and continued with graphing, telling time, and doubles math facts. Do simple math drills with your children to sharpen their fact skills.
- · Learned about Leonardo da Vinci. Every week the children will have art for 45 minutes. We will begin with learning about art created by “The Masters.” Today we created nature study sketches and next week we will create our own paint!
Also, our week will
