March 9 - 13

This week we will be learning the letter P, p as in pig. We will learn its sound and how to write it. Please practice blends and short words at home! The kids are doing fantastic with their sentences! We added a new sight word last week: and! Add this to the list of sight words we have already learned. Post them somewhere in your home...fridge, mirror, somewhere they will see them daily. Practice blending words together too! Sounds we've already learned along with the P sound. :)
We are continuing to count to 100, as well!
Our unit this week is all about our five senses! If you have any books that go along with this, please send them!
