This has only been the second day of the week, but we sure have covered a lot in those two days! The math assessment went really well today! Continue working on counting money by dollar bills and coins at home. Also work on telling time to the minute. Both of these things were things we covered in this first unit in math and will appear multiple times throughout the year, especially on the state assessments.
We are also studying (ay) and (ai) spelling patterns this week. Both of these make the long a sound. Ask your child to spell some of these words with the spelling pattern.
Another big thing we have started this week is Bal-A-Vis-X. This program involves using racquetballs and bean bags and are a series of exercises used to enhance Balance, Auditory, and Visual skills. Here is the website if you would like to learn more: http://www.bal-a-vis-x.com/About.htm
Finally, I was able to get grades posted online tonight so make sure you check those out. I look forward to seeing you for open house next Wednesday! Be thinking of which party you would like to sign your child up for treats/drinks.
