Dear Parents,

 

Due to the water main break and the closing of our school please take this opportunity to spend some quality time with your child.  I have listed a few activities/ideas that you can do to reinforce your child’s learning!

 

First and foremost READ, READ, and READ to your child!  Discuss story elements; characters, settings, problems and solutions.  Give them opportunities to read to you or ask them to tell you a story.  Please review with your child the letters and sounds of the alphabet; build CVC words (i.e., dog, cat, mom, gum, pig, jug, etc.), review sight words, practice handwriting, create pictures and write about them, create a story with your child (in class we have been reading and comparing the different Three Little Pig stories) they could make up their own story about the Three Little Mice and the Big Bad Cat!

 

For Math; work on number identification (0-30), practice writing numbers (0-20), work with money (penny, nickel, dime and quarter), do simple addition and subtraction problems.

 

For Science and Social Studies; discuss the changes that are occurring during Spring, why it is important to conserve water all the time!J

 

For Religion; discuss the importance of Easter and how Jesus loves us all the time.J 

 

Please make certain that you and your child take advantage of these beautiful early Spring days!  Enjoy a walk, play baseball, play with sidewalk chalk (write some words!), or go for a bike ride.

 

We hope to see you all soon!

Mrs. Zaccagnini and Mrs. Burtis         

 

 

 

Next week we will work on letters “Nn” as in net and “Ee” as in egg.  We will begin our Egypt unit.  The children will learn about Egypt’s pyramids, the Nile River, King Tutankhamun and create a cartouche. 

In Math we will work on Math Unit # 5 – Time and Money.   In Religion we will work on Chapter 20 – “Lent” in our We Believe – God Made the World text.

 

Love,

Mrs. Zaccagnini and Mrs. Burtis
