Our previous letters, numbers, and shapes are listed below:

Aa, Mm, Nn, Cc, Pp, Ss, Tt, Dd, Hh, Oo, Ff,  Ii, Rr, & Ll

Circle, triangle, rectangle, diamond, and square

From this point forward I will be sending the homework on Monday's for the previous week's letter.  Therefore, the homework for letter 'Rr' will be sent home on this Monday 01/09.

Please remember to send back the letter stating whether or not you will attending the parent teacher conference.

Also, Room 110 is in  need of paper towels and Kleenex.  Please if you can, please help by sending these items with your child.  Thanks in advance.

Each week I will select a student to send home our class Letter Bag.  The letter bag consists of a few library books, practice activities, and a journal. 
The student and their families are asked to search for a word that begins with any of our previous letters of the week. Once a previous letter or current letter is found, ask your child to state  the beginning letter of the found word. After you and your child have discussed the words,  please write those words in the journal provided. In addition to the words, please ask your child their favorite part of each book. 


We are learning about the letter sounds, showing picture of words beginning with each letter,  how to write, finding letters we've studied in  books, in the room. In addition, we are reviewing our previous letters of the past few weeks, such as 'Aa', 'Mm', 'Tt', 'Ff' & 'Ss', 'Pp', 'Ii', 'Nn', 'Oo', 'Cc', 'Hh', 'Dd', 'Rr' & next week 'Ll'.

In Reading, we are reading stories about our letter of the week of which is 'Ll'..  We will also singing songs, making oue letter 'Ll' story puppet. We will also discuss and read our sight word book "I am".

Please help our friends to recognize words that begin with the letter 'Ll' at home.

In Phonics, we are recognizing the upper vs. lower case, writing letter 'Ll', listening for the beginning, middle, and ending sounds of 'Ll'. I encourage our families to help our friends practice writing all the previous and current letters and listening for sounds at home as well

In Math we will study the number 5. We will trace, write, count, group, & trace the number word for 5.  We are also going to review our previous shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, diamonds, &  triangles.
