 Happy Easter!  


Our academic focuses over the past few weeks have been:

Literacy
  • Sight words
  • Applying beginning reading strategies to our individual reading books.  (Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish, Stretchy Snake and Careful Caterpillar)
  • Phonological Awareness - We have been segmenting A LOT and this has helped us dramatically in our writing.
  • Phonics - short vowels
  • Writing - We have continued to work on conventions such as spacing, punctuation and capital letters as well as stretching our sounds to hear beginning, middle and ending sounds.
Math
  • Shape and Space - 3D shapes
  • Numeracy - Creating and counting sets to 10, numbers in two parts, subtizing
You and Your World

  • Social and Emotional skills
  • Healthy Bodies
  • Holidays 
In April, we will be focusing on:

Literacy
  • Continued work on sight words
  • Irregular vowel patterns (oo, ee, or, ai, oi, oy etc...)
  • Long vowels 
  • Blending
  • Reading Strategies - Chunky Monkey, Skippy Frog
  • Writing - Elaborating on our ideas and using interesting word choice
Math
  • Shape and Space - Building 3D shapes
  • Measurement
  • Continued practice on number concepts 

You and Your World
  • Spring, Earth Day, Five Senses

Report cards will go home on Monday April 9th.   Student-parent teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, April 12 and Friday, April 13th.  Please don't forget to send in the form with your preferred choice of time. I may not have the opportunity to give you exactly what you wish as 90% of the forms I have received back have asked for a time between 6-7 and I simply don't have enough spaces. If you are at all flexible with these times, please let me know so that I can figure out a plan that will work for all.  

If you have any questions about anything mentioned above, please do not hesitate to ask.
