Week of April 17th -21st Letter Xx

Dear Parents,


I hope everyone enjoyed their Holiday! Our batteries are charged and we're ready to go!

This week we are going to be working with the letter Xx. As you know, there are not that many words that begin with this letter. For this reason, we are also going to talk about words that have this letter at the middle, or at the end of it. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on is the following: xylophone, x-ray, taxi, box, mix, fox.

If you have any items at home that begin or end with this letter, send them over with your child and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.

It would be great if you happen to have any kind of X-rays that the students can see. If you do, please let us borrow them from you.

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

 X-ray fish wants a xylophone for his birthday, but will he get his wish?

Christina’s mother gets a new refrigerator… and with it, a giant box — a child’s dream!  It becomes a castle, a clubhouse, a racing car, a dance floor, and more.  Christina’s mother is going crazy and wants the box gone — but Christina always has one more idea.

Matthew's mom is just like all the other moms. She has ordinary hair, ordinary clothes, and a nice smile. Matthew's mom is just like all the other moms . . . EXCEPT she has X-RAY VISION! How else could she always know what Matthew is up to? She knows when he jumps on the bed, or when he uses her pots and pans outside, and she even knows when he is wrestling with sea monsters in the bathtub! Matthew is sure his mom can see through things just like a superhero!

We will continue working with the following sight words: when use,how,will,your . Please practice them with your child at home!!!

In Math, we are going to be working with Time. This week we will focus on time to the hour. We are going to be looking at differences on digital and analog clocks.

The children continue practicing counting by ones, by fives and by tens. This week we will continue these counting exercises. We will also practice writing the numbers 1-50

This week we will be talking about Planet Earth. We are going to be brainstorming ways to help the Earth stay clean. The children are all very excited to be the Earth´s super friend and you may have already noticed it at home. We will be making posters to hang around the school.
