Home reading begins!

Hi Mom and Dad!!

We enjoyed sharing all about our Thanksgiving weekend this week.  We sure do all have a lot to be thankful for!

This week we continue to work on isolating letter sounds.  We added letter ‘a’, our first vowel.  This will help us begin to spell many words during our writing time and help us with our reading.  The letter A looks like we are biting in to an apple, with a big wide mouth. 

We also introduced the letter ‘R’ and did a really good brainstorming words that begin with this letter sound.

In math we continue to work on different ways of showing numbers.  We have also begun working on math centres to reinforce our learning!  Each day we get to do a new centre, patterning, sorting, and working with numbers.  Ask me what my favourite centre is so far.

Home reading started this week!!  We made special reading sticks to stay in our bags.  Please make sure I use this to point to each word to stay with the story.  Our books should be brought back each day to exchange and read with the teacher.
