WEEK 23

Well, hopefully there will be no more snow days for a while!! This week we will be talking about the letter Hh. New words for the Word Wall are live, give, and his. We are also doing lots of reading and writing practice. Thank you for continuing to help your child read at night - if I miss the numbers when your child reaches 25, 50, 75, etc, books, please write a note in his/her agenda, so he/she can choose a book from my collection. As well, please continue to count with your child - frontwards and backwards. Ask what number comes before or after a number 0-10. Talk about more and fewer. These are all skills your child is working on in Math this year.
