Good morning parents. I seem to be working on a Better late than never concept this year with the blog!! Every time I picked up my phone to write a post, something would come up and it didn’t get done. I will try to be more efficient and get the posts written on Sunday evenings.
The school is hosting a food drive. If you would like to donate food items. You can send something in with your child or drop it off in the lobby.
We will be having a school wide lockdown drill tomorrow morning. We will practice in class so the children will know what to do.
We will NO SCHOOL on Friday October 11 and 14. A nice long weekend for the children to rest up.
We have been working on the letters: t, b, f, n, m
We are learning about the sounds they make, things that begin with that sound, how to form the letter.
The forming of the letters take lots of practice and is developmental difficult for some children but with practice they will learn them. It is important if you are printing with you child that you ensure that they start their letters at the top and not at the bottom. This helps prevent reversal of the letter (printing them backwards).
I am sending home a laminated copy of our printing board from school. You and your child can practice printing the letters that we are doing in school. This can be kept at home. Each week I send the verbal path of the letter formation. We say this when we make the letters (t is a skyline letter. Point to the skyline. Go down to the grass line. Cross on the plane line. T top /t/). Practicing these will help your child retain the information quicker.
We are still working on numbers 1-5.
Have great week!
