We also met our first letter friend this week. On Thursday I gave the kids their first "homework" assignment. They were supposed to ask parents, other family members, and friends to help them think of words that start with "Ss" so we could make a long list of words. I am excited to start working on letters/sounds so we can apply them to our kid writing. We have also been working on two sight words: I and the.
This weekend ask your child about:
1) Apples: When I they ripe, the parts of an apple, how many seeds and apple can have, what helps the flowers change into apples, etc. I hope they can give you a lot of information!
2) Sammy Seal and the letter Ss-What kind of lines does letter 's' have? What is the sound/sign for letter 's'? (We use visual phonics so there is a hand sign for each letter sound).
3) Their favorite choice time spot.
4) Apple Foods
This Thursday, October 2nd is Open House. There is a meal hosted by the PTA with a free will donation starting at 5:00 and Open House runs from 5:30-7:00. I hope to see you all there! We have been busy decorating our room with our work for you to see!
I sent an email today about the classroom Facebook page I am starting. Please consider becoming a friend and getting information and reminders that way. I will also do my best to post photos of what we have been up to in here! I want to keep parents as connected as possible to our learning.
I have put a link on the website (under sign-ups) and on the classroom Facebook page so that you can sign up for conferences. Please sign up as soon as you are able. The slots fill up fast and I really look forward to meeting with all of you to discuss you kiddos and the progress they are making!
Thanks!!
