Jolly Phonics: This week we worked on the letter sounds “oo, y, x, and ch ” in our Jolly Phonics books.  Please review these sounds and songs with your child. 
Literacy: We read the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes.  The children focused on strategies that good readers use when they read.  The strategies focused on this week include predicting, retelling details,  and inferring to make connections to understand the story.
Math: In math this week we focused on counting and recognizing teen numbers.  We used shaving cream to practice writing numbers. It was messy, but a lot of fun!
Thank you Cresco Fire Department! The children enjoyed their visit on Tuesday from Mr. Murray. They loved exploring the Fire Truck!
Sharing: We are working hard on identifying words that rhyme. Please have your child bring in two items that rhyme for sharing next week.
