December Newsletter

What We Have Been Working On In December:

· Language Arts: We have been working on blending and segmenting and also beginning sounds. Challenge them with these skills whenever you have a few minutes.
· Math: I cannot believe how well the kids are doing! We have been working on probability, number sense, and even some simple addition!
· Science: Katie Cantu from the DNR was here to teach us about hibernation.
· Handwriting Without Tears: Students have learned how to write some lowercase letters (c, t, a, o, d, v, s, w, u, and g). Have them practice writing at home.
