ELA
The children have learned two "popcorn words". They are am and I.  Next week the words little and the will be introduced. The children are responsible to be able to read these words. We will be starting weekly ELA assessments. Recognition of letters and reading these "popcorn words" will be on the tests. Comprehension skills taught will also be assessed.  Please practice writing names using a capital letter for the first letter and then lowercase letters. We are working on listening skills and following directions. 

MATH
We will begin Chapter 1 which teaches children how to represent a number of objects by showing, counting and writing numbers 1-5. Key vocabulary words for this chapter include: count, equal to , less than and more than. Practice writing numbers correctly.
