Learning Focus:
Math- We will be working on the numbers two and three: identifying, writing, making representations, and identifying groups. We will continue working on one-to-one correspondence, counting, and sorting.
Reading – We will be learning about the two sounds of the letter “Cc”. We will name and identify objects that begin with one of the “Cc” sounds. We will be working on the Sight Words: can and me. Please practice them at home.
Writing – We are working on writing the letters “Cc” correctly – starting at the 2 o’clock point and going up (back) and around, then stopping at the 4 o'clock point. Please also continue helping your child write his/name correctly. It is VERY important that children form their letters correctly NOW, when we are learning them.Thank you!

Tardies
We have had several tardies this past week. PLEASE BE ON TIME. Students miss out on instruction and directions when they are even five minutes late. Tardy students also cause distractions for other students from their learning.
