We are celebrating, Read Across America...I saw a lot of crazy socks today. Lots of fun things happening, they are listed on the note that was sent home on Friday. There is a day that they dress up as their favorite book character, but they do not have to. They could be the little boy or girl in any story, no costume required.

Language Arts:
We are starting to work on procedural writing "How To's". We are learning about the different characteristics of these books. Some words might be in bold, and they might contain a glossary. We are also working on sight words and blending CVC words so we will be able to read more fluently.

Math:
We are continuing to practice sums through 5. Every other week your child will bring home a set of math facts. Please practice these at home. We will also send homelinks weekly. We are going to explore the difference between 2D & 3D shapes.

Art:
We made lots of fun leprechaun things. Our favorite was the puppet. We sang to the people in the office, the music class and the preschool.
Sadly, we did not catch the leprechaun, but he left us a pot full of candy, wrapped in gold paper.
