Lesson 27  -  Using number path to relate addition with subtraction

Sharing for this week is transportation.  Bring an item or a picture that shows a form of transportation.  What are you going to tell us about this picture/item. 

I have introduced the concept of “finger spelling”.  Use the hand you do not write with and tap the thumb, tap the pointer finger, etc. putting each finger down after each sound is made.  For example:  “fan” would look like this:  raise your thumb for “f”; pointer finger “a”; tall finger “n”.  Next time your child asks, “How do I spell…” suggest “finger spelling”.

Please encourage practicing penmanship at home.  Occasionally I see the lower case “m” or “n” look like a bird flying.  All letters need to start at the top and go down, just like “gravity”.  Make sure letters are not “shrinking” or “floating”…oh,,,, and don’t forget to use the “pincher fingers”. 

Thank you to all the parents who are participating in the weekly notes and homework.  This communication is very important!  Your child is accountable for their homework and as parents, need to be aware of what we are doing in the classroom. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please call, send a note/email, or stop by.
