ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Part of our reading program is Saxon Phonics.  This is a very successful format in teaching children the letters of the alphabet and their sounds.  Each child will be able to sound out and read words by the end of the year, if not sooner.  This is the order of the letters taught the first six weeks: l,o,g,h,t,p.  Please help your child learn these letters and their sound.  Also help him/her distinguish between capital and lowercase letters.  Have your child practice writing the letters, both capital and lowercase.

The first six weeks, our Science and Social Studies units of study are:
Rules/Procedure/Getting to know each other
All about Me 
Friends/Class Family Book/Jack and Jill
Grandparents Day/Family/Three Billy Goats Gruff
Johnny Appleseed/Community Helpers
Spiders/Little Miss Muffet/Twinkle Twinkle  Little Star

Our math for the first six weeks is:
Sorting and Classifying
Position and Location
