Week of September 26 - 30

Dear Parents,

Last week was all about the letters E and F. We learned about words that started with each letter (eagle, elephant, flock, and fresh). We also learned about the numbers 1, 2, and 3 by practicing the different ways we can write them.

Our literature revolved around our letters and we did art projects to remind us about what we read. Be sure to see our Flashing Fire Trucks on the bulletin board in the school’s front entryway! We also followed directions and made a Robot (that’s posted up front, too).

Because we learned the letter E, we were able to sound out something new and built the word... BED! 

This week, we are going to revisit some of the things we’ve learned in the last 4 weeks of school:

1. Phonics - Review letters A-F

• Sound out the letters and practice writing new words with good penmanship

2. Math - Review numbers 1-5

• Add and subtract a group of objects to find the number we want

3. Language Arts - Reading/Art

• Read books that remind us of the letters we’ve learned (Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger, Quick as a Cricket by Audrey Wood, Dirt Boy by Erik Jon Slangerup, First the Egg by Laura Vaccaro Seeger, etc.)
• Art projects that coincide with the concepts in each book

4. Visual/Performing Arts - Movement Journal

• We are going to start making a journal based on music. On each page, we will draw how music we listen to makes us feel
