Ms. Trowbridge's Class

Happy Fall! Can you believe it is the first day of fall? Today we learned our new fall song, see if your student remembers it! This week we are learning the letters I and L, we are also continuing to learn about ordinal numbers through 10. This seems to be a hard concept for them so please practice at home. Some great ways to practice ordinal numbers might be to line up stuffed animals and see which is sitting in the 8th spot, or 6th spot. Or maybe have a race in your family and talk about what position each member came in. They seem to understand 1st - 5th but 6th - 10th is very difficult.

Thank you to everyone who has been working on letters and handwriting at home. Handwriting has improved greatly with everyone! I am still looking for one more parent in the morning to come help with handwriting centers, if you can come every other Wednesday starting tomorrow please let me know ASAP.

Next week we are learning about our color words and the letters H and B if you would like to get a head start on handwriting!

PM class, yesterday I sent home a new specials schedule, please let me know if you did not get one.

Thank you to everyone who donated paper! I'm sure we will need more in a while so please look for the request in the blog.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child or anything in class please don't hesitate to contact me!

Have a great week!
