Firstie News
Dear Parents,
How are you? Firsties are rocking in class. Through the week, we have been working on short i sounds and their words. We are also stretching and sounding out words. For math, we are working hard in adding and subtracting simple facts. This week, our class has been also working on writing a simple story.
On a more serious note, 9/11 is just around the corner. This week, our class has discussed American symbols, which fits nicely with 9/11. In class, I try to focus on the word, hero. With tv and other media coverage, I know certain topics will come up. When teaching the unit, I try to read more child friendly books. I am sure your child will home and discuss it with you. I just want to keep you informed of our class curriculum. Please take the time to discuss this sensitive topic with your child. Thank you for your support.
