October+15+to+October+18

This week we will be focusing on completing our self portraits using things we found around the community. We went on a hike and collected various things from nature. When we got back from our hike we sorted the items in to various piles. Now the children will finish creating their portraits. These portraits will stay at school.

__Language__

The letter of the week is the letter I - Inky in the inkpot...iii Please have your child find items that begin with the "i" sound and bring it to school for our "i" table. Today the children will sign in without using their name tag for the first time. Shortly we will begin working on our last names!!

Snuggle up and read program is in full swing. The children will bring home a new book each night to read to an adult. Please date the page and have your child draw a picture of an event in the story. Also, we are working on labelling our pictures by stretching out the sounds! I will read with each child every week.

Also, our reading program has started. Thanks to the many volunteers who have volunteered their time to read with all our children.

Math

In math we are going to create a number line that depicts the symbol of the number as well as having items to show what the number represents. Our focus this week is one to one correspondenc. This skill is essential before continuing on in other math concepts.

A short week filled with lots of great learning opportunities!!!!!
