Happy New Year!!!

I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and winter break.  I am happy to be back into the swing of the school year.  I was so happy with the way our class came back after the New Year.  Everyone has been great listeners and hard workers this last week. 

This month, we are talking about mittens, snowmen, and Jan Brett books.  Last week we made snow people and wrote short stories about them.  We also reviewed all the sight words we have learned so far this year. 

This week, we are learning the word DO.  We practice making words at many different letter centers.  We are taking time every day to read books from our book bins with a partner or on our own and Mrs. Skeels has started to take guided reading groups.  We are also writing a lot more each week and are practicing handwriting. 

In math, we have started chapter 6 which looks at numbers 10-30, graphing, and other review. 

Things to practice at home with your child this week:
*Review ABC and AABB patterns.
*Have your child write from 1-30.
*Review your child's sight words with him/her.
*Have your child read to you every night from his/her book bag.
