In math we use coins for a lot of different activities. I would appreciate it if

each of you could send in 10 pennies, 5 nickels & 10 dimes. Your child will have their

own “piggy bank” to store their coinsby

Thanks!

Continue working with your child on their number formation (there are a lot of

reversals!)….they should be able to write numbers to 50 by themselves.

Continue working on the sight words that

were on the back of last week’s newsletter.

Your child needs to know those words instantly

when they see them— not by sounding

them out….or doing the “hummmm…”

waiting for you to help. If your child

doesn’t know —the

go thrwough

ordthe s

words having you say them & then they

repeat them until they DO know them!

Please try to read with your child

10— 20 min. each day. At first grade

this does include reading wordlists, the small run

-off books and you reading to them. I have in-

cluded a paper for you to write down books that

you are reading at home.

We are working on word families (rimes)

to help us read words. Recognizing a rime allows

us to read & write many words just by changing

the initial (beginning) sound (example: cat, hat,

mat, lap, map, nap).

Work Stations are in full swing

this week. Your child goes to

one station area a day and

works together to complete 3

activities. Please review the

importance of working

(and NOT playing) during station

time.

Thanks for your support in

helping these go smoothly

and successfully.
