I hope everyone had a great weekend! My husband and I have had family in from Korea so I am just now able to post about last week. We have had a fun weekend too though.

In literacy we are continuing to work on our letters, letter sounds, rhyming words, and syllables. Some things you can do at home with your children is practice rhyming words, point out letters in books as you are reading to them, and what sounds the letters make. A fun thing I like to play is I spy. In this game you spy different letters in books. Constant repetition with letters will help students build a strong foundation for when they begin reading.

In math we have we have worked on reading, writing, and counting up to 5. Next week we will begin numbers 6-10. In our workstations we are working on counting games, practicing our number writing, and we have even started some beginning addition concepts.

My favorite part about this week was our theme on community building. We did a lot of activities where we had to work as a team. Here are some pictures of what we did.

We started our week off talking about how we are a community and we all affect each other.We should that we are connected by making a classroom web.

 In this activity we had to work as teams to build something with marshmallows and toothpicks. The students loved this and they did great!

Here is our classroom picture!

Our class hand print heart to show that we all love each other!

Tuesday is our field trip to the fire station. We will be leaving around 8:40 and be returning around 10:30. They will be showing us around the fire station and talking to the students about fire safety. I am excited to share the pictures of it with everyone next week!

Another note- if you are able to provide some snacks for our class for snack time that would be wonderful! We are beginning to run low on our supply.

Thank  you,

Mrs. Lee
