Slight change to how numbers are being taught in Miss Nancy's Class!!!!! Continuing with dice pattern/number recognition for "automaticity". All students have started with numbers 1-6 using dice patterns. All Classes Flip Card game-What is bigger? based on the game "WAR" only using cards 1-6. The kids loved it and were very quick at figuring out who was to take the cards. Adding on number at a time. Have put in 7.

Afternoon students are learning last names by being introduced during circle as Miss or Mister. Last name recognition is coming along nicely. Students are doing a nice job shaking hands with classmates andokk asking how they are. Please practice this when visitors come to your home. Have your child shake hands and ask how the guest is. Students have learned they shake with their RIGHT hand. Morning students are shaking hand with teacher who asks how they are. Also asking TRUE/FALSE questions this month in 2nd AM and afternoon classes. Some children are struggling with this. Practice with very obvious questions....My eyes purple.... True/false. Children eat mud....True/False
 * Social Emotional**

Started using clothes pins to mark answers on cards. Many children having difficulty pinching clothes pins while holding card. Practice using clothes pins at home....make a place to practice hanging clothes. Great activity to develop finger strength.
 * Fine motor**

Using I pad for review/practice of colors, shapes and counting in morning. In focus to review concepts through Easi-Teach games

Review** Is very important. Please practice at home. Do a little homework every night!!! Even 15 minutes will help. Please email or call.
