Literacy
This week we worked on the letters Bb and Cc. We sang our ABC chant, played Hickety Tickety to identify letters in our name, and practiced handwriting both uppercase and lowercase of each of the letters. Have your child practice writing Bb and Cc at home with markers, crayons, or a pencil!

Pencil Grip
Cutting Tips
Have your child sing the song and practice cutting any type of paper at home. I have a link below if you would like to print out cutting sheets. Scrap paper is totally fine!
Lunch Pins and Snack Time
The faster students can get through the lunch line by knowing their lunch pins, the longer they have to eat lunch! PLEASE help your child learn his/her lunch number!
Snack Time:
Our class has community snack each day. Please contribute one store bought (peanut free) snack each month for your child to share with the class (24). Please do not send in individual snacks for your child to eat.

Things to Support Fine Motor Development at Home
- Play with playdough
- Practice using scissors
- Use tongs to pick up items: cotton balls, socks, marshmallows
- Limit iPad/technology use
- Use a paper puncher and punch holes in paper
- Write with sidewalk chalk
- Write with crayons rather than markers (they require pressure)
Birthdays
At Crestview Elementary School we take time during morning announcements to highlight students who are celebrating their birthdays. This includes announcing their names and grade levels over the school wide intercom system. If for any reason you do not want your child’s name and birthday announced, please reach out to Janet Ellis, Office Coordinator, in our front office and she will make note of the request.
A reminder that due to life threatening allergies students should not be bringing birthday treats to school this year.
