Dear Parents,
I see sunny skies in the forecast for this weekand NO SNOW… fingers crossed that the meteorologists have it right!
Math/Logic
This week we begin math work in the Early birdresource book. The students will:
- Count, write and circling numbers
- Work on problems focusing on: Which has more? Whichhas fewer?
Phonics/Reading
Our class continues to focus on the concepts of short /a/ and /i/ in our readers while introducing the short /o/.
As I’ve mentioned before, the young reader can never have enough practice or review. Please continue to read with your child every day. When their readers come home, have themread to you as often as home time allows.
Today’s reader is tomorrow’s leader.
