Poem/Homework for week of September 26th

We are learning about the letter Aa this week! This week's poem is all about the letter Aa, however, it contains names of students in our class, so I will not post it online. Many students learn to recognize letters and letter sounds by making connections to something they already know or is relevant to them, which is why we included some of our friends' names! Here you can see the homework part.

Library Books

Hopefully starting Monday, September 19th, your child will start bringing home library books! They will come home in these special library book bags. You must return the books in this bag every week. This is how we track who has returned their books and may take a new one. Library day is every Day 5 for our class and it will be marked on our calendar every month. Please make sure to return library books, in their bags, before the next library day.

Poem/Homework - Week of September 12th - We Pay Attention!

Starting this week your child will be bringing home their yellow poetry books. Please read through the poem/song with your child and then work WITH THEM (don't do it for them!) to complete the homework. Often, the homework will say to "write a sentence" and at this age a sentence can look like any number of things! Some students may be able to only write their names, others may only write a few random letters, most JKs may only be able to make a few lines and squiggles, while some SKs may be ready to try writing sentences!  Whatever stage your child is at, please let them try the work on their own. After they have attempted a picture and sentence on their own, have your child tell you what their picture is all about and then you can write their ideas down for them, if you'd like. Our first poem/homework for the week of September 12th is called We Pay Attention!

Where Does Garbage Go?

Where does garbage go? We have three different bins in which to throw our garbage, but it can get quite confusing for the little ones! You can help us out by reinforcing this at home.
