September Newsletter
Week of September 14-18, 2015
Learning Focus:
Math- We will review numbers 0- 4: identifying, writing, making representations, and identifying groups. We will continue working on one-to-one correspondence, counting, and sorting.
Reading – We will learn about the two sounds of the letters “Gg” and "Ss". We will name and identify objects that begin with "G" and "S" sounds. We will be working on the Sight Words: are and see. Please practice them at home.
Writing – We are working on writing the letters “Gg" and "Ss" correctly. For lowercase "g", start at the 2 o’clock point and go around (like an o), go up to the dotted line, then down below the bottom line and curve. Make sure that "g" goes way below the line. It does NOT sit on the line. For lowercase "s", start st 2 o'clock, go back to 10 o'clock, then across to 4 o'clock and curve back along the bottom to stop at 8 o'clock.
Please reinforce this at home. 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!

Ride for Reading
On Friday, we will have an assembly with Ride for Reading. This is an organization that works with helmet safety. Ride for Reading has collected enough books to GIVE every student in our whole SCHOOL a book. This is how important they view student reading and ownership of books. What an honor to be chosen to receive books from this group!
