January 14-17, 2013

This week we focused on the letter P! The children are getting into a good habit of listening to beginning sounds in words. Many times, out of the blue, a student will run up to me and say for example: "puh-puh pencil!" or "puh puh pizza!". They are becoming much more aware that letter sounds are in ALL of our words!   This really excites me!  

We spent extra time this week working on handwriting. It is very difficult for little hands to hold a pencil. They are learning and making progress. I have an assortment of pencils. Some children use typical pencils and some children use fat pencils. Please work with your child at home. They need lots of practice.

Enjoy pictures from this week.

Next week we will be reading, "The Snowy Day". I have a fun "snowy" surprise in store for my sweet little ones!

  1. Luc LOVES popcorn! I asked him what letter he learned in school today and he said "Popcorn!" and I thought he was just asking for popcorn! Lol
    Also, Mrs. Weathers here is a cute picture I took of Luc on the way down from Cheaha Mountain yesterday:
