Choice Time

I just wanted to share a few pictures from Choice Time today. It's always a great day when everyone has earned their choice time and gets to enjoy a fun activity of their own choosing.

Each week I set out different activities that give the kiddos a variety of options that typically include educational games to practice literacy and math skills, science exploration trays, books on CD with headphones, blocks or magnets for building, markers and paper for coloring


Coming Up:
Next week our letter of the week is S and our word of the week is like. We will complete our first series of sound lessons with the letter o on Monday and then I will review our first 10 sounds [m, a, s, d, t, n, p, o, g] and assess the kiddos one on one. In Math we will begin learning about graphing so that we can compare numbers and determine which is bigger/more and which is smaller/less next week and we will also talk about the math words same and different. Additionally, the children will begin to practice number writing, which will be reinforced with Letter School on the iPad because that offers number practice as well as letter practice.

Our Star and Co-Star of the week are Mackenzie and Jena! 

The homework that went home today includes two sheets of math homework. Each sheet is double sided. Please help your child do a little bit of the homework each night instead of attempting it all at once. 

Helpful hint for math homework==> You will often see one side of sheet has an empty box without any directions. The directions are actually on the bottom of the previous page....look carefully! 

Have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!
