Hello everyone,
It's hard to believe that we are in the middle of October already! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving weekend. The days are getting a bit cooler please make sure to pack a sweater or jacket for our recess times. Please send along a complete change of clothes as well. With the cool weather also comes wet grass/equipment at first recess so it's good to be prepared. I am excited to be back with the children this week after dealing with a bout of pneumonia last week. I read some positive notes from the subs last week, which always makes a teacher happy when they have to be away from their classroom.
Literacy- We are moving along in our Fundations program. This week we learn about the letters /g/ and /a/. These letters start at the plane line and curve around. This week we will work on recognizing the trick word "like" and "see". We will begin our study of apples. In writing, we are beginning to label our drawings with beginning sounds and using shapes to draw familiar objects.
Numeracy- This week we will introduce the number 5.
Dates to remember
