September Newsletter
Week of September 21-25, 2015
Learning Focus:
Math- We will review numbers 0- 5: identifying, writing, making representations, and identifying groups. We will continue working on one-to-one correspondence, counting, and sorting. We are also working on counting to 20.
Reading – We will finish letter "Ss" and learn the sound of "Pp". We will name and identify objects that begin with "S" and "P" sounds.
These are the letters we have introduced so far this year:
A, C, O, G, T, F, S, and now P.
Please have your child practice naming these at home. All students should be able to name the capital and lowercase of these letters, as well as tell you all the sounds each letter makes.
We will be working on the Sight Words: in and little. Please practice them at home.
These are the Sight Words your child should be able to proficiently read at this point:
a, and, are, can, is, me, my, on, see, the, and now little and in.
Writing – We are working on writing the letters “Ss" and "Pp" correctly. 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. "P" is a line letter, meaning it starts at the line - top line for capital and midline for lowercase. Go down, back up, and then make the circle.
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!
