Ms. Trowbridge's Class

This week we are learning the letters P and C. We will also be finishing up our math chapter on numbers 0-5. We are learning how to compare numbers, more than or less than. Everyone understands more than but most are having a difficult time with less than. This would be a perfect concept to practice at home simply by asking the students who has less than who. Please continue to be practicing handwriting at home. Yesterday, we did our first handwriting assessment for a grade. Students are graded on how well they are able to form the letters, some students are great at it and some still need some help. Remember, www.handwritingworksheets.com is a super place to visit to help work on the formation of letters, just simply type in what letters they need to work on. For example, this week's assessment was Mm Rr Ss Tt, I just typed that into the maker using the D'nealian font and that was their writing assessment. Please use this website often and have your child write the letters we are learning weekly. This way everyone will get a good grade in the writing portion on the progress report. If you have any questions, please contact me.
