Friday, September 19th

The students continue to work on printing their letters each day.  You can help your child practice the letters at home and make words using the letters that we have learned thus far.  We have looked at the letters Cc, Oo, Ss, Tt, Vv,Ww, Aa, Dd, Gg, and Uu.  You can also review when we use upper and lowercase letters and what sounds they make and how to properly form the letters.  We also learned a new poem this week about colours.  Please make sure your child reviews their poems at home.  We will be working on colours words next week as well.  As for Math, the students have started Data Management (Graphing).  We have made many graphs together as a class.  Ask your child what some of those graphs were about (number of letters in our first name, favourite colour, and favourite animal).  We also introduced our new Science unit: Daily and Seasonal cycles.  We discussed what the four seasons are and what clues tell us it is that season.  Ask your child for some of those clues.    

IXL:

Your child should have received their username and password for IXL.  I have already assigned A.1 for homework.  Your child may be eager to work ahead or go on other sections.  I don’t mind if they do this.  I only assign particular sections to practice the concepts that we are learning at school to reinforce learning.   

Ms. Lee:

We will have a student teacher starting on Monday.  She will be here everyday from 8:45 - 11:30 until the end of January.  The students are very excited!
