I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful winter break with family and friends! We were happy to be back in the classroom yesterday and with lots of snow to play with in the yard! The students had a great time playing first recess out in the snow (it was too cold at second recess). Just a reminder to send your child with extra mitts and extra socks in case they get wet outside -we want them to be warm and comfortable. I hope everyone is keeping warm and safe today with the wild weather we are having.
Language -Please continue to work with your child on upper and lower case letter recognition as well as producing the sounds the letters make. Once your child has mastered these, practicing sight words is an important next step. Hunting for sight words in books they are reading is a great way for them to practice picking out these words. The words that we have currently covered in class and are up on our word wall are: the,see, to, I, a, on, we, he, she, me, my, at, is, for, you, in, are. Our word wall words for the month of January are and, it, said, they, his, her.
Thank you for reading daily with your children and reading the home reading books provided. Due to the bad weather today, jk home reading books will be changed tomorrow (Wed) for this week. Feel free to write me a note in the communication folder (on the notes to and from home page) if you would like the books exchanged more regularly or on a different day of the week.
Math -We will be starting Geometry this month focusing first on 2D shapes then 3D solids. Feel free to hunt for shapes around your house, and discuss the attributes of each shape (eg. square has 4 equal sides) with your child. We will also work ongoing on number sense and numeration so continuing to work with numbers at home is much appreciated.
Clothing -Don't forget to label all winter gear (boots, hats, mitts etc.) as a lot of students have the same items and things can easily get lost or mixed up.
