Wonders
This week our class read stories about sounds we hear in our neighborhoods and communities. Your child will experiment with ways to make sounds.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we will be practicing.

Everyday Math
We are discussing ten frames, adding numbers together (1-5), and skip counting. We practice number sense, counting and writing our numbers everyday.
Daily Five
We have been working in small groups. I have grouped children based on their skills and abilities to understand letters and sounds, read words, and build words. Decodable books will come home soon.
