Thank you for helping your child prepare for speech meet. They did a great job!
Please label your child’s boots, mittens, hat and snowpants. It is easy for these things to get mixed up with other kids’ outdoor clothing!
What We’re Learning:
SSRW: We are working on identifying short vowels in words and blending three letter words.
Handwriting: We will work on writing letters Oo and Aa.
Poetry: We will learn a poem called “What Can I Give Him” by Christina Rosetti
Math: We will work to represent and identify numbers to 20.
Geography: We will read about, and make a picture of, Abraham Lincoln.
Science: We will be studying weather, looking specifically at water as a solid, a liquid and a gas.
Bible Story: We will hear the story of the Israelites receiving manna from heaven and water from a rock.
Virtue Study: As we focus on the virtue of FRIENDSHIP this quarter, remember this simple idea expressed by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” An anonymous poem captures this same thought: “I went out to find a friend but could not find one there. I went out to be a friend, and friends were everywhere!”
Homework
I am sending home a phonics page that focuses on short vowels.
Our Bible verse for December is: Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11
