We had a busy week in the 4's class this week. We are already working on the letter D. Each week with the letter of the week we talk about things that start with that letter. Your child should know several words for each letter. You can help by asking your child for things that start with any of the letters we have worked with. Another idea to hep your child with remembering the letters is when you see things that start with one of the letters written out, like on cereal boxes, store signs or other places ask then what letter it is.
Wednesday afternoon we did an activity using Oreo cookies. The children got to try to see how many cookies they could stack before the stack fell over. Ask your child how they did They got to eat the cookies when we were all done. It is safe to say that everyone but one child loves Oreo cookies.
Friday we tasted donuts for D. Thanks to Irma's parents for providing the donuts. Each child got to taste (and eat) 3 different kinds of donuts. I think this class has a sweet tooth, as almost everyone quickly ate all their samples.
The Friday folders has a note and sign in for a new website the school is trying out. It is called IXL. I showed each child how to work on the site. Please go and see what you think about it. This activity is something that you will need to be with them as they do it. I will be sending another site home next week. We as a school are trying 2 different sites and will be picking one to use for the year. Let e know what you think about the sites, both your likes and dislikes We want input from parents.
Reminder:

God Bless
