What We Did This Week
Here are some of the skills we've been working with your child:
ELA: We've dived into our Letter of the Week, which was A. We will be focusing on the letters for a week, sometimes two, for those students who need to learn their uppercase and lowercase letters.
Math: Our number of the week was 4, our color of the week was blue, and our shape of the week was triangle.
Writing: We continue to work on our writing our names. We also do a lot of shared writing experiences in which we work with the child on what to write, emphasizing how words are made of letters and each letter has a sound.

Outside Play
Once winter comes, we will also be looking to go outside and play at least once a week. They will need snowpants as well as boots, coat, hats, and mittens.
Report Card Conferences
Even though our students do not receive the school's report card, I'd still like to meet with you and go over your child's progress with their academic and IEP goals.
Report Card conferences will be on November 8th and November 9th. I'll be scheduling conferences in 30 minute blocks. Please let me know what day and time works best for you.
