A Peek At The Week
This week we began "apple" week with many songs, stories, and poems about apples. Our math focus has been to count, introduce five-frames, "subitize" recognize and write the numbers 1-5. In "fundations", our phonics program, we have introduced t, b, f. Please reinforce at home using the key word. ( t, top, /t/, b, bat, /b/, f, fun, /f/) Say the letter name, then the key word picture and last the sound.
Looking Ahead
Centers will begin next week.
On Monday I will send home the first homework assignment. The packet will have directions for each night and the assignments will be short. Some do not require paper or pencil. Please return the homework on Friday in the homework pocket.
Mr. Monti has told us that the kindergarten chromebooks will be coming soon. Please get your child a set of earphones. They can be purchased for a good price a Five Below. They will be kept in a large zip-lock bag and only used by your child.
