Newsletter March 26th-30th

Jesus Time: This week we are learning about Tabitha, also called Dorcas, how she shared about Jesus by using her talents to glorify Jesus.  Ask your child what talents they can thank God for?
Math: Working on counting by 5's and nickels.  Work with your child at home on how to count by 5's to 100.  We take a cup of pennies and compare them with nickels in class.  Also, learning about who and what are on the nickel.  
Reading/Writing: Our theme this week is How Trees Grow.
We are reading our big book about Oak Trees.  Ask about the life cycle of the tree through the seasons.  We are writing about different kind of trees.
We are adding two new words this week to our word wall: said and  little
We use the skywriting method to learn the new words.  Use them in a sentence at home.  When practicing multiple sight words try a fun game, for example make it a Sight Word Hunt.   Place words around the house and have your child try to find them and read the words to you.
Continue to practice letter sounds.  www.Starfall.com is a good website to practice each letter sound.
