Hi-ho-hi-ho it's back to work we go!

Happy January! I can't believe how quickly the first few months of school have gone by! The children are back at it and hard at work. In Fundations, the children have now learned all of their lowercase letters. We are now beginning to work on learning our uppercase letter formations and reviewing sounds. The children are quickly becoming expert readers and spellers by beginning to segment and blend small (cvc) words. Ask your child to tap out some words for you! In math we are learning all about 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes as well as continuing to explore counting to twenty and using ten frames to count and display numbers. Today, we read the classic folktale "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. The children are doing a great job with their story retelling as you can see from their wonderful illustrations below.
