HOMEWORK

Phonics-  complete both sides of attached sheet

Math-  pg. 90, 91, 92

-Begin the 7^th sight word list.  See your child’s red study folder for these lists.  I am thrilled with the way many students have been picking up the sight words-your hard work is paying off!  If your child is ready to move ahead to the next list, please do so, but don’t forget to keep reviewing!

-Practice writing their first and last name in pencil.  Also review counting by 5’s and 10’s.  Work with the 120 chart in the red folder.  There is a list of activities on the back that you can do with your child using this list.  

-Practice zipping coats and putting on hats and gloves.

CLASS WORK
Learning Centers-the children will begin going to Learning Centers next week, first thing in the morning.   These centers are very different from play centers that we have in the afternoon.  The children work in small groups on a specific skill at each center.  If takes a lot of classroom management from the teacher, and good behavior choices from the students to ensure that Learning Centers run smoothly.  You may see some work coming home that your child completed in a center.   Some centers your child will visit over the next few weeks are:   Write the Room, Technology (ipads), Word Wall Words, Creative (art cart), and Math.  The benefits to small group work are endless, and the children love it!
Religion-  Jesus spread the news about God’s Love to all people.
Reading Readiness- Mr. R will arrive from Letter People Land.  He has Ripping Rubberbands! He has a friend named Reggie Rooster.
Phonics- We will also keep reviewing our short and long vowel sounds.  We will finish up the –an word family.
