Today we did the second lesson (yesterday we did the first) of our word study program called FUNdations. We are beginning by reviewing all the letters and sounds of the alphabet. Your student should be able to remember the key word and sounds for these letters, ask them and see if they can!
T top B bat F fun M man N nut
In math we are exploring and learning how to use some of our math materials. Today we used cluster cards, these are like playing cards without the numeral. These are very useful to give kids a visual for each number. It also helps us learn to decompose and recompose numbers. For example if I show this:
The kids might say "This is 9 because I see 4 and 4 and 1"
We also started reading our first chapter book!
Look for a pink paper coming home today that is for a friendship list. Please fill out and return IF you would like your contact information shared with the purpose of planning play dates and party invitations etc.
Heads up! I like to call all families around this time of the year to check in on their first grade transition to school. If you see a number pop up from the school it is probably me calling during lunch or special time to just check in. Talk to you soon!
