Thank you for the amazing support with our Boosterthon FUNRUN fundraiser!  Our class did such a great job raising money for Copper Creek and learning the character lessons.  We had a lot of fun running also!

This week we will continue focusing on all the letters and sounds, especially the letter Ll.  The students should be able to recognize and reproduce the sound when they see all letters now, in isolation and in words.  This week your child will learn how to properly write the uppercase and lowercase Ll.  You may want to practice this skill at home.  Remember to have them hold their pencil properly and begin at the top or the middle, never at the bottom.   This week your child will continue to learn the high-frequency words: are, that, do, and they should also be able to recognize the following high-frequency words:  I, am, the, little, to, a, have, is, we, my, like, he, for, in, it, can , an, me, with, she, see, look, they, you, of.  I would recommend that with any skill that your child is working on that you have flashcards for them to use daily for a quick practice.  We are beginning our study of compositions and decompositions of 2, 3, 4, and 5.  All students are expected to write their first names with a capital letter followed by lowercase letters properly by now.  We are also beginning to learn how to properly write and spell our last names.  In writing we are focusing on writing 3 sentences using our high-frequency words and then initial, medial, and ending sounds of unknown words (ex. I had fun runing yestrda.  I ran 35 laps.  I liket the dansing laps the best. = I had fun running yesterday.  I ran 35 laps.  I liked the dancing laps the best.)
