Hello Families!

In Math, we have started our study of Geometry.  We have named, sorted, counted, built, and created new shapes with two-dimensional shapes using pattern blocks and tangram pieces. Next, we will learn how to identify fractions of different shapes by dividing them into equals shares such as halves, fourths, or quarters.

In Fundations, we have been learning new trick words and practicing reading and writing welded sounds (–ang, -ank, -ing, -ink, -ong, -onk, -ung, and  –unk).  You can support your child at home by practicing words with these sounds, trick words, and reading with them and talking about what you read together. If you have access to a computer, starfall.com, pbskids.org, and storylineonline.net are all great resources to help build reading and phonics skills.

Conferences/Report Cards

Conference reminders have been sent home today. Look for your child’s report card in their Thursday Backpack Folder next week.  Please contact me if you have questions or concerns about their report card or if you would like to change the date and/or time of your conference.

Classroom supplies

Thank you to families who have donated supplies! We are still running low on shared classroom supplies such as disinfecting wipes, tissues, and dry-erase markers. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.

             

Enjoy the weekend! J
