Language Arts

We will be beginning our unit in Happily Ever After,
The Nightingale. 

We are working on comprehension, following directions, comparing and contrasting and rhyming.
Additionally we are working on the positions first, next, last, left and right.  We are also learning to recognize the emotions happy, sad, angry and surprised.

Our letter this week is Vv .  Please continue to reinforce letter recognition with your child.

Math

We are working on graphing items and recognizing fewest and greatest.  We began by graphing our shoes into to different categories.

We continue to work on recognizing numbers 1-20 and sequencing numbers 1-10.  Our goal is to count from 1- 100.
Counting by tens to 100 is also a goal.  

Ask your child to demonstrate their knowledge they are proud of their accomplishments!
We have added counting by fives to 100 and everyone is doing well!

Texas History Month

We will be learning about different Texas symbols this month. We started with the Texas Flag and our nickname being The Lone Star State.

The colors on the flag represent; red for bravery, blue for loyalty and white for strength.

We have discussed the mockingbird being our state bird and the bluebonnet our flower.

We will be taking a trip to Walker Park this Friday from 9:00 to 11:00.  Please look for the permission slip in your child's backpack and be sure to send a booster seat for the ride.  If you are able to drive and or chaperon just let me know.  Thank you for all you do!  

Blessings,
Katie Hermann
