This coming week we will be learning the consonant letter Nn as in nest and nut. Please continue to review all the letters we have learned so far. Show and Tell will be on Friday, November 6, 2009. Please find something that begins with the letter Nn.
In reading we are beginning Unit 2. The theme of unit 2 is Animal Live Here we will be reading stories that focus on animals’ homes. Our first story in this unit is called Life in an Ocean in which we will learn about the ocean environment and also compare and contrast different things living in the sea.
In Math we will be working on Chapter 3: Numbers 0-5. Please review the concepts of MORE, FEWER, and EQUAL and practice counting objects with sets of 0-5 with your child at home.
Since the weather will be getting cooler, we ask that the boys and girls practice at home putting their coats on themselves and zipping/buttoning them. We often spend a lot of time struggling with coats and zippers at this time of the year. Thanks for the help!
