Posted: January 17, 2013

Happy Thursday!    We have had a wonderful week so far, all of the boys and girls are working very hard to get three stickers a day! We have been reviewing our Zoo phonics on a daily basis, doing Zoo phonics exercises and playing games.  We have also been practicing our Sight Words and have been really enjoying playing a fun game called "Sight Word Hot potato.”  A note was sent home to parents yesterday regarding a "Sight Word Heart necklace."  Instructions were included with a variety of Sight word hearts.  Have your child cut out the hearts and practice saying/spelling them with you.  When you feel they are comfortable with the word and know it well, have your child put the heart on a string to eventually form a lovely necklace.We have been concentrating on “Capital” letters and where they belong in a sentence.We began a new unit in "You and Your World" on "The Five Senses."  We are starting with "SMELL."  Students have done a variety of activities on our sense of smell.  A fun activity at home would be to cover his/her eyes and ask them to smell different foods to see if they can guessWe finished up Unit 2 in Math and the students had an assessment on Numbers 1-5! What brilliant boys and girls! In Art class this week, we painted gorgeous outdoor scenery using large paintbrushes and four different colors.  When they were all dry, we used small paintbrushes to create "snowstorms" with white paint.Have an amazing week boys and girls!!!
