Week of September 7

I can say with complete confidence that the first 4 days of school have been a success!  I hope your kiddos are enjoying the year as much as I am!
This week we will be studying the letter M.  While we will be spending great amounts of time at school discussing what starts with M and practicing our weekly letter it would be wonderful if you can help at home by practicing writing both upper-case and lower-case M.  Handwriting is the one area that we never have enough time for in the school day!  Please remember that we always, always, always start our letters at the top and work down. 
This week we will also be studying the color word blue.  Each week we sing a color word song.  Try asking your child to sing it for you at home!
In Math we are working on positional words including (but not limited to!) above, below, inside, outside, next to, in front of, and behind. 
Our specials schedule has been finalized! Here is a brief overview:
Monday- Music
Tuesday- Library (LRC)
Wednesday- Gym (Please have your child wear tennis shoes to school.  Please do NOT send them and ask your child to change shoes for gym.  Tennis shoes should be worn all day on Wednesdays.  Thanks!)
Thursday- no special
Friday- Art (If you have not yet sent in an art shirt for your child, please do so!)

As always, email me if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks for taking time to check out our blog!
