Miss Schultz's Parent Letter

November 4^th, 2005

This week we have been talking all about bears and the letter Bb. At the language center students completed their Bb book, 2 Bb tongue twisters and they decorated a die-cut letter B. At the writing center students practiced writing the letter Bb, drew a picture of something beginning with Bb, wrote a sentence to describe their picture and they wrote words from around the room that begin with Ss, Aa, Cc, Ll, Pp, Hh and Bb. At the math center students completed a November calendar, and the learned how to measure with a ruler. First they measured things with their foot and then they measured with a ruler. At the theme art center our Mom volunteers read Corduroy by Don Freeman helped the students comprehend what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story to make into a poster. They also read a poem about hibernation and colored animals for a poster I will be hanging in the hall. They chose animals and colored them for a mobile I will be hanging in our classroom library.

Our conferences will be held Thursday, Nov. 10^th and Friday, Nov. 11^th. Please be sure you call Mary Bergren in the office to set up a time to meet with me. I am looking forward to sharing your child’s successes with you!

Questions to ask your child this week are the following:

1. Can you tell me 3-5 words that begin with the letter Bb?
2. What is the Bb sound?
3. What does it mean when a bear hibernates?
4. How high can you count by 1’s?
5. Please be sure your child brings something for show - and - tell tomorrow.
6. Help them find things that begin with the letter Bb.

Have a great weekend!!

Sincerely,

Miss Schultz
