Hooray for United Way!


     This month we have been collecting donations for the United Way. The United Way is a wonderful organization which does so much for members of our community. Please continue to send in any spare change this week that you would like to donate to this charitable organization. This Friday, we will be celebrating with a Pajama Day (no slippers please)! We are also still waiting to see which teacher will get the "Pie in the Face"! So far, Mr. Lally has the fullest bucket!!  
      This week we have introduced the letter Mm as well as the sound Mm stands for (mmm...I tell the students it's like saying "Mmm, that's good!") We are practicing forming the letter, tracing the letter, and writing the letter independently. Practice with your child by looking for the letter Mm within environmental print or around your home. 
     Students are learning to count the "math way" during our small group rotations. This is a different way of using our fingers to represent numbers. We start with using the left pinky finger to represent the number one and move on as if you are looking at a number line. Today, students used a piano template to help them learn to count the "math way".
