Math
We began our math lessons this week using our new Math in Focus program. Our first unit will focus on learning about the numbers to 5 and identifying similarities and differences between objects. We took a closer look at the numbers 1 and 2 this week and used our interactive white board to find pictures that represent 1 and 2. We also talked about "making a match" as we described how objects are the same and how they are different. Then we played a game where students took turns "making a match" using a collection of math manipulatives such as counters and linking cubes.

We introduced our first three Jolly Phonics sounds this week! We learned the sound and motion for each of the following letters.
/s/ as in "snake"
/a/ as in "apple"
/t/ as in "tennis"

We enjoyed several Pete the Cat books this week that helped us learn all about being flexible and going with the flow. Pete helped us understand that it's okay when things don't go our way or when a challenge arises and that it's helpful to keep a positive attitude and keep moving on.

Blue Book Bags
We learned our first two sight words this week-- I and can-- and added these words to our new blue book bags. We added our first sight word book to our bags too! Please carve out some time each day to practice reading the sight words and sight word books in your child's blue bag. We will be adding new words and a sight word book each week, so if you could remember to keep the book bag in your child's backpack, that would be great! Thanks so much for your support at home. It really makes a difference!!
