Language

This weeks letter of the week is the letter Ee. The Jolly Phonics song that goes with that letter is Excellent Eggs...eee.

We are continuing our focus on rhyming. Many of the children have mastered this skill so this will be our last week with rhyming as our focus. Please continue to practice rhyming words while you are talking with your child. It is fun when you child tries to make up rhyming words - remember the words they come up with can be invented words like - gat rhymes with bat. As long as the ending sound is the same, your child is rhyming!

Math

Estimation - The big math word for guessing!!! We hae discussed that the guess should be a "thoughtful guess". If the see a container with many items then 1 would NOT be a thoughtful guess, as well 100 would not be a thoughtful guess. All week we will be estimating many containers in the classroom.

Thanks to all of you who made the time in your busy lives to come to the open house. It was a great success. Remember you can always get in touch with me at the school 519-287-3330.
