This Month's Highlights
Hello Parents,

January is a busy month of learning.
Here are the skills introduced:
Math: Place Value
Time
Money
3-D Shapes
Temperature

These past few days have opened up a lot of discussion about temperature.
One way to help your child with money – a suggestion- take out the change you have in your pocket and ask her or him to identify the coins and how much each coin is worth.

Reading skills: Sight words
Long Vowels (Intro)
Predicting
Tell the story beginning, middle, and end
Demonstrate how to decode words: Look at pictures, say each letter, look for a
word inside a word, and sound it out. If that doesn’t work, skip it and continue
reading and then go back and try again.
