September 16-20 & 23-27

Lake Farmpark Information

We are all set for our field trip to Lake Farmpark on Tuesday, September 24.  Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather!  We will be outside even if it is rainy.  Also, please make sure your child brings a packed lunch.  Please pack in a disposable bag so that we can throw all items away after lunch.  Thank you!  We are looking forward to our trip!

Reminders
  • Please put all notes to the teacher or office on a large sheet of paper.  Small notes (like post-its) tend to get lost.  Thank you!
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. 
  • Ask your child to name the characters and/or setting in a story you read together. 
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
We have been learning about the farm.  We are reading several stories about the farm and farm animals.  We will be using these stories to learn about characters, 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, a, in, and, is, on

Math

In math, we are learning addition and subtraction to five with materials.  Also, we practice counting from any given number to 100 forward and backward.
