We will introduce the letters Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm and Nn. We will continue to practice the letters A-E and review our high frequency words I and am.
We will continue to practice writing our first names and writing the letters that we have been introduced to thus far.
In Math we will review position and direction from Chapter 1 and take the test on Tuesday. We will begin Chapter 2 on Wednesday. In this chapter we will use illustrations to count and name a group of objects to 5, match sets of objects using one-to-one correspondence, and count/write/identify/represent numbers 1,2,3.

Weekly Newsletter for the week of August 17-21, 2009

August 17-21, 2009
We will be working on our names this week. We have a name activity each day to reinforce certain concepts we are discussing. Please make sure that if your child is having trouble writing his/her name, that you practice writing it at home, too! We will be discussing capital/lowercase letters in our names, how many letters, compare/contrast our names to others in the class, and much, much more! At the end of the week, we will be making a class book that will include a picture that I took of your child on the first day of school.
In Math we will be recognizing and writing the numbers 1-5. This skill can also be reinforced at home.
We have worked very hard the past two days learning all of the rules and procedures in our classroom. Please make sure that you went over our Kindergarten Handbook with your child and sign and return the last page as soon as possible. Also, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I am available during my prep hour or before/after school for phone calls.
