It’s hard to believe that the six weeks is just about over. We have worked hard to learn our sight words for the six weeks and the letters Aa through Hh.  Have your child look for the sight words in books that you read at home. It has been such a joy watching and listening to them as they discover these words in books within the classroom.

We will begin our study of bats next week.  Ask your child what they discovered in their study of this creature. We will create a chart of what we know and what we want to know about bats. Using this study, we will do our first big writing activity on what we learned at the end of the study. Look for these to be posted in our hall.  

Continue to work on the sight word cards I sent home.  This will help your child get ahead of the game and feel very sucessful in their learning experience.

We had a really great day today. We are learning how to walk in a line down the hall. My class is doing a really super job of walking without touching others and the wall. 

 We started our author study of Norman Bridwell. You know he’s the guy who  writes all the Clifford stories. Today we read about Clifford as a small puppy and how he suddenly grew so big.

 We are working on the words I and can in Language Arts. Next week we will add am and the to our list. If you would like to work on these, it would be greatly appreciated.  You can do simple things like pointing out these words as you read bedtime stories to your child, or anywhere you happen to come across these words.
