This week I introduced the letters p and j. We have been working on the formation of these two letters as well as letters that have previously been introduced. In addition we have been talking about sentence structure- groups of words, always beginning with a capital letter, some kind of end punctuation. Today as part of handwriting students were writing very simple sentences such as The sun is big.

We are continuing our work with patterns during math. This week we have used the Smart Board to predict what comes next in patterns or to create our own patterns. The children are getting very good at identifying and naming patterns-- AB, AAB etc.

We have started writing our own story called If You Give a Cheetah Chocolate. This is based on If You Give A Mouse a Cookie and other books by Laura Joffe Numeroff. Ask your child what happens if you give a cheetah chocolate.
