Week of December 12, 2016

During our literacy block we continue to read and retell fairy tales.  This week we will read another version of "Cinderella".  We will read "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and "The Little Red Hen."  We are retelling - characters, setting, beginning, middle and end.

During math we will be working with numbers and writing numbers.  We will sequence numbers.  We also will be working with shapes.

We are going to continue to share our December holiday traditions and then start to write about
one of our traditions.

Please continue to practice sight words and letters/letter sounds.  This week our letter of the week is "Rr" and our words are:  went, said.

REMINDER:
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week are early dismissal days for parent conferences.

Special News:
Giovanni's birthday was Friday and to celebrate Giovanni invited his dad,  a police officer, to come into our class and talk about his job.  It was a very exciting afternoon and the children learned a lot.
Thank you so much for your visit Officer Ed.

We enjoy indoor recess too on rainy, windy days.
