This week in Room 6

In your child's backpack you should have received a packet of information regarding the first five letters introduced in our Fundations program. As the weeks progress you will receive an updated home connection letter explaining what letters we are working on. Please note that the letter sheets coming home are available for your child to practice making the letters and sounds. These letter sheets can be put together to create an alphabet book for practice.

This past week we have been working on the letters m and n. We practiced identifying these beginning in words, wrote words around the room beginning with the sounds, sorted pictures that had the same beginning sound and practiced writing the letters. We also began practicing our names in lowercase letters. As you can see the Fundations program focuses on the lowercase letters first. We have also talked about sentences. Some questions we pondered.....What is a sentence? How does it end? What kind of letter begins each sentence? How do we write all the other letters in the sentence?

In Math we are focusing on the numbers 0 -5. We have been writing the numbers, counting and determining the cumulative amount, matching numbers to the objects we count, discovering and discussing that a whole number can be divided into 2 parts.
