Welcome Fall!!

We welcomed fall by painting leaves and learning a poem about fall.  We are watching for signs of fall outside.  We are sooooo ready for the temperatures to "fall".
The children are becoming such good readers.  We have worked on one and two syllable words and have learned how to segment a word by syllables.  We know our short vowel sounds and are working on the long vowel patterns.  We will be working on comparing reality and fantasy as well as sequencing events in a story.  Please use the key words, first, next, then and last when discussing a story with your child.  Have your child make a sandwich or help you prepare a meal.  Discuss what you did first, next, then and last.  We are writing complex sentences by using "and" and "because" to link more information in the sentence.  We are working on writing on a topic and adding details in the sentences to "paint pictures in your head".
In math we are working on the doubles facts through 9+9.  Please study the flash cards each night.  We are working  word problems and writing number sentences to match the problem, ordinal numbers through sixth, counting by 2's, 5's and 10's, color words, number words and shape words.
Thank you for all that you do to help your child learn!  I am seeing progress daily.
