Hello everyone! I hope you had a very good weekend. It’s nice to be able to spend some extra time with our families!

Literacy:

This weeK we will be learning some new letters. I will send the homework package home tomorrow. Please practice the letters and printing with your child if you have time. This will re-enforce what they are learning in the classroom.

We have 5 Trick Words that have bee introduced: I, like, see, can, you

These are Trick words because they can’t be sounded out and need to be memorized. Playing games and reviewing these with your child will help them remember the words. These are words they will be using in their writing and reading.

In writing we are still working on drawing a picture and telling a story about what we drew. I encourage the children to write any words or letters that they know.

Numeracy:

We continue to work on the numbers 1-5 by building sets of numbers, counting forward and backward, and printing the numbers. We also are looking at different ways to make the numbers 1-5, like on a ten frame, dice, with our fingers, tally marks, which number comes before and which number comes after.

Another concept we will begin talking about is more, less and equal. We will build sets of numbers that are more, less and equal to a given number and say how we know the answer (4 is more than 2 because when we count 2 comes first so it’s a smaller number).

Have a great week!
