FRIDAY!

Friday already! Wow! I hope that your child is feeling more and more comfortable at school. Here is what we worked on today:

First, the students had a chance to look through some of Mrs. Clapper's bear books. Second, we finished out the reading series of the last two weeks. The students worked on character, setting and plot. (These were all introductions and we do not expect your child to know what they are verbatim yet.) You may want to start using some if this vocabulary as you read to your child at home. The class read Jack and Max together and worked on actually reading the words "I and Am" throughout the story. We retold the Little School Bus story using story cards. The class worked on putting the parts in the correct order of occurrence. We finished out the day reading the story of King Midas and following the ordinal numbers. In Math today we finished chapter one by taking a test. The class did very well. Please use prepositions at home whenever you can. This extra practice allows your child to have some meaningful learning experiences at home. Also, practicing which hand is your left and right helps your child when we talk about left and right in class. The students had a chance to play in centers and to learn about nouns. Phew! We did a lot today! Also calendar! Have a great weekend! ~Mrs. Hansen
