Tomorrow we start our first story in our new reader. It is a humorous one called “Ant and the Three Little Figs.” Be sure to ask your child to tell you about it!
The C.A.P.P. program went very well today. The children discussed the difference between laughing with and laughing at someone., They talked about how it feels to laugh at yourself and how it feels to laugh at someone else. The lesson reinforced what we have already learned through the no bullying program.
Tomorrow we will also conduct our first germ experiment. (This is my favorite science unit because we do so much gross, icky stuff!) Be sure to ask your child what we did---they could even demonstrate if you are feeling brave!
Please continue to practice spelling words. Use any reinforcement that works for your child: singing, shouting the letters, writing the words in the air, karate spelling (they know what that is), cheerleader spelling (they know that one too!). Share what works for you!
Math flashcards will be coming home tomorrow. Please help your child practice the math facts. Committing them to memory is the foundation for later math skills. The cards must be returned to school each day as we also practice.
