November

November News

We are cruising into November with a lot of speed. I am very pleased with  all the progress the students are continuing to make.    We are working hard to learn all of our letters and sounds.  We are also beginning to write and label words in our journal.  Keep working hard at home to help and support your child here at school.  Thanks to many of you who are completing the blue and green papers for homework.  During math time we have been exploring shapes, writing our numbers and counting items.  We will have conferences at the end of the month and I look forward to catching up with you all about your child's progress.

Calendar Time

Today we started a new  activity at calendar time.  The students are learning to write the days of the week and the months of the year.  They are practicing to write the date on their slates and the number of days we have been in school.  This is not an easy task and it will get easy as we continue to practice the skills at school.
