Here are some of the highlights of our week:

1. Handwriting: We have been working on correct handwriting formation. We reviewed the letters that we have done so far and practiced G and J.

2. Literacy Centers: We worked on phonics computer games, matching upper and lowercase letters, writing sentences about a picture, and reading and looking at books.

3. Text Talk: We read the story, A Little Bit of Winter. We focused on the words: grasped, message, prodded, remind, companions, and solution. Please have your child try to use these words in sentences.

We had another great week of learning and playing together! Here are some of the highlights:

1. Literacy Stations: We worked on handwriting, writing numbers, blending the sounds in words, reading, and phonics games on the computer.

2. Phonics: We worked on breaking words up into the onset and rime (c-ake), and played a board game to practice. We also practiced changing the first letter of a word to make a new one.

3. Making Meaning: We read the story White Rabbit's Color Book and continued to practice the skill of visualizing. Visualizing helps children to understand and connect mental images to something that is read or heard.
