Writing Workshop!
Our BIG goal for the month of January is to improve our writing skills. The goal is to have your child writing 3 sentence by June. Please practice writing sentence at home. One practice suggestion is to have them type me an email. The “Space bar” on a computer is an excellent way to teach spaces and children will often write more if they type it. I will be happy to respond to any emails your child sends to me! The goal is to let them sound out the words and spell the words themselves. You can gently remind them that each word has a vowel.

Count by 10′s and 5′s
The expectation is that your child should be able to count orally 50 by the end of January. Please practice at home. In addition, we will be practicing counting by 10′s and 5′s. Please practice at home, in the car, waiting in line at the grocery store, etc.

RAZ-Kids website
The kids visit the computer lab twice a week. We read for at least 20-30 minutes in the lab on raz-kids.com on Wednesdays The kids love it! I get a weekly report of the kids’ progress and how many minutes your children are reading on the site. It is VERY impressive! Keep up the great work!
