LANGUAGE ARTS
Our reading and writing programs are taking us through many letters, sounds, word patterns, and print concepts. We have enjoyed investigating the shape, the syllables ("beats"), and vowels in each other's names. We have jumped right into our balanced literacy program, are learning to choose "just-right" books, and are working hard on our very-difficult writing responsibilities.
MATH
We are beginning to add and subtract numbers to 10 and focus on the parts (the numbers) that make up the total. We will continue to use literature and manipulatives to reinforce problem-solving.

SPECIAL NOTES
* Thank you for helping to make the first month of your child's first grade a success! It was nice to meet those of you who were able to attend Open House.
* A special Thank You goes out to our Room Moms, Marijke Hart and Nancy Lombra, for coordinating our Volunteer schedule. A special thanks goes out to the rest of you too! The children and I are excited to have all of you help us in the class (or help out at home too!) Your time is most appreciated!
* A special thank you to all of you who made our Apple Tasting Day such a success! We enjoyed some tasty creations. Apples have 20 to 25 percent more air in them than most fruits, so we're glad to know why our apples floated.
* Thank you for helping your child choose his/her favorite book to share with the class last month. We enjoyed investigating the selections!
* Box Tops will be collected once again this year. More info coming!
