​What we are learning:

This week we will be learning the letter and sounds for “Gg” and “Oo”. I will introduce the sight word “was” and review “a”.  In math, we will continue learning about Numbers to 5, with a focus on recognizing dot formations (e.g. on dice). In Writer’s Workshop, we are continuing to work on labeling our pictures by sounding out words.  Thank you to those who shared their “All About Me Bags”.  We had so much fun learning about our similarities and celebrating our differences.  We will continue to talk about Halloween safety.
