Are you finding yourself drumming the "Wee Willie Winkie" song on your desk today? What a great concert! The kids did fantastic and looked great too. We had 100% participation. Thanks parents.
Animated Alphabet: We learned two new characters this week, Zack and Zena Zebra and Huey the Mule (long u sound). Only one more character to go. Don't forget to start talking with your child about the characters and what they would like to do for the Animated Alphabet party/parade on Wednesday, March 30.
Math: This week we have learned a lot about the parts of the clock, telling time on the hour and half-hour. Please work on this at home with both digital and analog clocks. Point out the times they get up, eat, leave the house, come home, go to bed. We have really tried to reinforce counting by 5s with the clock. You can help with this at home.
Handwriting: As we wind down with our Animated Alphabet at school we are starting to really work in our Handwriting books. If you did not get a letter sheet from me at conferences let me know and I will send one home. This should be your guide to helping students write their letters correctly at home.
Daily 5: Having worked up to 9 minutes of "Read to Self" we started working on "Read to Someone" this week. Have your child model this for you at home. This is a great way for you to work on reading with your child. Choose very simple books that they can sound out and be successful at!
Next week will be our last week of Show and Tell. We will not resume this after Spring Break.
Have a great weekend!
