 WEEK OF  FEB 6 - FEB. 10  **Letter "O"**      

     THIS WEEK THE LETTER "O"  WILL BE THE FOCUS.     THE STUDENTS WILL BE INTRODUCED TO THE LONG AND SHORT SOUNDS OF "O".  SOME RELATED TOPICS WILL BE OWLS AND OUR FORMER PRESIDENTS.  SINCE VALENTINE'S DAY IS APPROACHING, WE WILL BE DISCUSSING ITS HISTORY AND THE MANY TRADITIONS SURROUNDING THE HOLIDAY.  CRAFT PROJECTS RELATED TO THE LETTER "O", THE PRESIDENTS, AND VALENTINE'S DAY WILL BE PART OF OUR WORK THIS WEEK.   

THE CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO PRACTICE PRINTING THEIR FIRST NAME USING A CAPITAL LETTER FOR ONLY THE FIRST LETTER AND LOWER CASE LETTERS FOR THE REMAINING LETTERS.  WE WILL ALSO BE CONCENTRATING ON UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF NUMERALS   1-10 AND IDENTIFYING AND PRINTING THOSE SAME NUMERALS AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTING SETS WITH THOSE VALUES.  PRACTICE AT HOME IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED IN : NUMERAL RECOGNITION AND PRINTING          (1-10), UNDERSTANDING THEIR VALUES, AND IN ONE TO ONE CORRESPONDENCE (COUNTING/CREATING) SETS .

PLEASE SPEND SOME TIME AT HOME HELPING YOUR CHILD MEMORIZE HIS/HER BIRTHDAY - THE MONTH AND DATE (year is not necessary) AND ADDRESS (#, STREET, CITY)

SOME CHILDREN HAVE COMPLETED THEIR PRACTICE NAME SHEETS AND ARE WORKING ON THEIR THIRD OR FOURTH ONE.  WHEN A PRACTICE SHEET IS COMPLETED PLEASE RETURN IT TO SCHOOL.  I'M VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING YOUR CHILD'S PROGRESS.  AFTER I'VE SEEN IT, I WILL RETURN IT FOR YOU TO KEEP AT HOME.  THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU SPEND AT HOME ON THIS. 

     WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON NUMERALS 0 - 5.  SOME CHILDREN NEED A BIT OF PRACTICE IDENTIFYING THESE NUMERALS.  I WILL BE SENDING SOME PRACTICE WORKSHEETS  HOME SOON.
