Week of April 2 - 6

Dear Parents,


Welcome back from Spring Break.  Hope your family is enjoying the weather and found something relaxing to do over the past week and weekend.  I look forward to seeing everyone back in class on Monday...


This week, our activities will focus on the following - - 


Phonics:  We will review the vowels and their short sounds and begin to talk about consonants.  We will look at the differences between the two groups of letters and their roles in making our words.  Our spelling words this week incorporate our vowels and focus on the letter "j" so the students get more practice writing tricky letters.  Our "star" word will again count this week and will be a "short e" or "i" word.


Language Arts:  We are going to begin talking about Story Sequencing and how stories we hear and tell and beginnings, middles, and ends.  


Math:  We will begin Chapter 10: Time.  We will discuss times of the day and start to learn about how to tell the hours on a clock.  Please take the time to reinforce this concept at home.


Science:  This week, we start a unit on Life Sciences, beginning with animals.  Each day we will learn about a new animal and complete an art project about that animal.  We will specifically focus on observing each animal and to be able to talk about each in terms of similarities and differences to each other.


If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please email me or add a comment below. Feel free to stop by the classroom or talk to Ms. Diane when you are at school.  If you haven't already done so, please "like" Town & Country Farm School's Facebook page.

Have a great week,Mrs. Stuhr
