I know many of you had the chance to see our Remembrance Day art- but I wanted to make sure that I posted it for those who didn't get a chance to see it. This class continues to amaze me with their artistic abilities and willingness to try new things.
Literacy- This week we are learning the basics of letter writing- just in time for Santa letters! We are reading a story about a little boy who writes letters to his new teacher. We are focusing on learning the five parts: date, greeting, body, closing and signature. Our guided reading focus is word attack strategies and digging deeper into the text. In a world of texting, emailing and other quick ways of communicating, letter writing can be a lost art. If you can include your child in writing a letter in the next few weeks that would be fanastic!
In math we are completing our patterning unit. We will be looking at number sense next. We will be starting with number patterns and basic addition and subtraction. Please quiz your child on their basic addition and subtraction skills ( What's 6 + 7?) and mental math by asking them questions.
Just to let you know as well, our holiday musical will be on Tuesday, Dec. 16th @ 6:30. There will be a day time performance as well. We have been practicing our lines and song. Please encourage your child to practice at home as well.
Happy Monday,
Ms. Rogers
