Reading: We focused on the book Alligators and Crocodiles by Laura Marsh. We had to learn real facts about our Addison Mascot! We learned words like: hatchling, prey, reptile, snout and senses. 

Math: We continued our lessons on counting and worked hard on teen numbers. We spent some time on listening for the difference in teen numbers like 13, versus "ty/dy" numbers like 30. As you listen to your children count, try to help them make the "th" sound for numbers like 13 or 30 instead of the "f" sound. This may help them learn to count higher since they won't confuse the 30s and 40s by saying "firdy."

Writing: We are continuing to work on hand writing and making sure the students are trying to touch the right lines depending on the letters they are writing. We are also asking for students to add more details to their pictures. These details will help them write fuller stories as we work on becoming authors.

Leader in Me: We are still working our way through introducing each habit. We have 2 more to get through this week and then we will be sending a little book home that introduces the habits to your family! The school will focus on the first habit "Be Proactive" at school during the month of September.

They may bring a water bottle to class each day if they choose to. 2.       Let your child know what their snack is each day and where it can be found in their backpack. (Sometimes kindergarteners get confused about what is their lunch versus snack or forget they have one.) Also, please do not send snack in a lunch box. It is confusing for everyone! 3.       Put your child’s first and last names in all articles of clothing and other items that might be left at school:  Sweaters, jackets, hats, lunch boxes and back ...
