It has been an exciting first week of school! We have been reviewing and practicing many procedures and your children have done a fantastic job. We are so proud of their hard work!
As you know, the homework packet is sent home on Monday and is due back to school on Friday. We recommend completing it daily so it does not become overwhelming for your child. They will also get the consistent reinforcement they need.
Here is what we will be learning about this week:
Spalding: This week we will continue to work on feature formations of
Spalding. This is a circle (clock), short line, tall line, line that goes below
the baseline, diagonal line and short line above the midpoint. Short
letters stay under the midpoint and tall letters go just below the top line. By
taking the time to do this practice it will help build muscle memory and help students are forming
each letter correctly.
Literature: Our story this week
will be the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We will compare
and contrast different versions of the story, sequences the events, and
even try some porriage. We will do a listening and following directions
activity and act out the story.
Math: This
week we will begin to use our math textbooks. Our first unit will be
exploring sets. Students will identify objects as being the same,
identical, different, or not the same (using those words). Students will
be shown two objects that are exactly the same and asked what makes them
exactly the same (size, color, shape, etc.)
Science: Students will
discover what germs are and where they live. They will discover how germs
spread and what we should do to prevent the spreading of germs. We will
practice proper hand washing skills and children will understand that being
clean is very important to good health. Students will discover the organs
in the body and the important job they do. Students will be able to explain two
reasons why sleep is important.
