Just a Cold February Friday!
Today in our SecondStep guidance program we talked about things to do while waiting patiently (ie counting quietly to self). We are using our Calm-Down steps in multiple situations which is really helping us identify feelings and learn how to deal with them!
Today in math we worked with estimation and comparing capacities of containers! We also worked with symmetry!
We extended our story elements work with The Hat and did a lot of word work!
Even though it's cold out, it sure isn't keeping us from working hard! We have been such busy bodies!
I hope you each have an enjoyable weekend!! Hope to see you at our Denim and Diamonds Benefit Dinner and Dance tomorrow night, Saturday in support of our great school!!

Wondrous Wednesday!
We have been working hard identifying consonant blends, compound words, vowels, and sight words! We are working on sentence structure and differentiating between questions and statements!
Ask your child about the rule for 'c' and 'k' sounds!! (A word begins with 'k' if it is followed by e, i, or y and a word begins with 'c' if it is followed by a, o, u, or any consonant!) This is helpful when they say, "But I don't know which one it starts with because they both make the 'k' sound!"
Tonight we have 'C' letter recognition and phonemic awareness homework!
