ELA: We continue to practice printing our letters, especially the lowercase letters. We listened to poems and stories both fiction and non-fiction. The letters we covered in FUNdations are b, f, t, m, n, i, u, & o (recognizing it,  picture, and sound) "b, bat, /b/"  and "f, fun, /f/". We practiced identifing the main idea in a story and retelling key details. We finished Unit 1. The practice books were sent home. We took our first reading assessment. The scoring page will come home this week for you to review, sign, and return. We started Unit 2 this week: Every story has charcters. The letter this week is Ss and our sight words are "the & we." 

Math: We are wrapping up Chapter 3: Position Words this week. A new Math Assessment will be sent home this week. Please don't throw it away) Sign and return! They will come home later this week. Chapter 4 is next- Numbers 0-10 including comparing sets- more, less, as many as. 

Religion: We continue to practice making the sign of the cross as well as saying daily prayers. We continue to learn about creation as well as the feast days, the holy rosary, and daily prayers. The blessing of the animals will be this Sunday!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

We hope you had a nice weekend and enjoyed the K-1st grade social on Saturday night! It was the perfect temperature for the pumpkin patch today. Thanks for joining us! Pumpkin patch pics will be in the next blog.

We continue to focus on proper pencil grip and letter formation. When writing their names, we begin with an uppercase letter and the rest are always lowercase. We are proud of the progress they have made so far! Please encourage the same at home:)
