September 17-21

Important Notes

• Monday is Constitution Day.  Wear red, white and blue!

Homework

• Review letters and sounds with your child daily.  How quickly can your child name the letters? 
• If your child knows his/her letters and sounds, practice the sight words.  Start with only a few words at a time. 
• A "Shape Hunt" homework paper will come home on Wednesday for you to complete with your child. 

Books in a Bag

• Your child should be bringing home a book in a ziploc bag.  Read this book with your child and return it as soon as you are finished.   Your child will then choose a new book to take home.  They might bring back the same book if they really like it!

Language Arts
The next 2 weeks will focus on the farm.  We will be reading several stories about the farm and farm animals.  We will be using these stories to learn about setting, cause and effect and sequencing. 

The focus for the next 2 weeks includes:

• rhyming
• letters and sounds
• final sounds
• syllables
• Left to right directionality

Sight words--the, little, we, go, you

We will continue our unit on shapes.  We will be also learning 3D shapes.  Your child will bring home a shape hunt worksheet on Wednesday to complete with you at home.
