Hello first grade families!
Last week we explored our letters a, w and d. The children enjoyed listening to stories about a brother rescuing his sister and a young man trying to escape a wizard. These stories come from Celic and Turkish backgrounds. We did activities in the sand and played games to help with sounding out the letters. The children's ability to draw pictures of the stories being told is growing.
The children are counting by 2's and 5's. We will be incorporating a jump rope soon into our morning activities and will start to also count by 10's. In the beginning only a couple of students were joining in with our counting, and now most of the class is jumping right in and they are able to go up to 100!
Reminders:
Day of courage is September 20, which is also a half day.
Parent Night is October 3 from 6:30-7:30.
Thank you,
Ki Aja
