We're really enjoying our new author study on Leo Lionni, and are counting down the days until our field trip to see Frederick!
We are continuing to build our word wall with two new sight words every week. However, it's important that we continue to review the words we learned in previous weeks so that your child can read them in a "snap," as oppose to sounding them out. Practicing with sight words at home makes a big difference and is very important for purposes of developing their essential skills as a reader.
We are continuing to work on identifying qua ntities without actually counting! We are giving particular focus on quantities from 1-6, but practicing with higher quantities doesn't hurt either! Look out for smaller numbers of certain items and ask your child to tell you how many items they see without counting them. Our group really enjoy these activities in our math centers and love to shock people with their amazing subitizing skills!
