BALL STUDY WEEK #1.

This week is our introduction to Balls.  We will be reading two stories, Play Ball and Bounce.  Both explore the subject of balls and how they are used in our daily lives.  See how many varieties of balls you have in your own home and we will see if your student can tell us about them when they come to school on Monday. Encourage them to identify their favorite kind of ball.

We will graph our favorite balls, see how many times they bounce and determine which ones are big and small.  Out letters for the week are Q and R. Encourage our child to practice writing their letters at home and remind them that we always start at the top of the page when beginning our letters.  We call it the skyline. We will be patterning a variety of balls for math.

PM class:  This week Miss Abela will visit us on Monday and talk to us about our up coming field trip to The Music Settlement.  We will hear about Dance stories with the Inlet Dancers.  This is a fun trip as the students get to dance with professional dancers and see what and how it feels to move in different ways.
