Let us try the blog again as a means to keep you informed of our classroom activities.
Letters of the alphabet
The children have been introduced to all the letters and the goal is that they can identify all upper and lower case letters in any given order.
Letter sounds
The student have been introduced to the sounds of
d, t, a, h, s, m. In class they are learning to listen for each of those sounds when given a word.
They should be able to tell if they hear that letter at the beginning of the word or at the end of the word.
To practice this at home have your child draw two lines. Say a word, Sam, they say it, then write the sounds they hear. Many children are adding the middle sound also. S a m Next have them say the three sounds to put the word together.
Sight words we have learned so far.
the a an here is I see and we he she it no an do what you are at
This week we are adding have, like too.

The children have been learning ways to make 4 through 10.
Using unifix cubes they take a given number, break it into two parts, then tell what they have. If the number is 4, they may get, 0 and 4 is 4, 1 and 3 is 4, 2 and 2 is 4. They are also learning to write the sentence.
At home practice --- Put 4 to 10 objects in a ziplock baggie. Have your child separate the items into two groups. Next they tell you 5 and 2 is 7. Put the items together, separate again, they tell you 3 and 4 is 7. They can write the sentence for you also.

We will be reviewing the letters A through P, matching the upper and lower case letters, as well as writing the letters.
The students are learning the sight words, I, a, an, the, see, we, here, is, while reading during their reading groups. They are becoming more confident in rhyming words, counting the number of syllables a word, counting the number of words in a sentences, counting the number of letters in a word, and beginning to hear the difference between the beginning sound versus a rhyming word.
Math will continue on the difficult task of understanding the teen numbers. They will be building the teen numbers on a ten frame and learn to group the set of ten ones to represent number 1 in the tens place. This task is called composing and decomping numbers. Eventually they will be able to tell you that one ten and 3 ones is 13, or 15 is one ten and 5 ones.
