         This month we will be learning to: count to 100 by 1s and 10s, identify 3D shapes like a cube, cylinder, sphere and cone, addition and subtraction, and sentence dictation. We are practicing listening to a given sentence, counting how many words are in the sentence and then writing the sentence down using an uppercase letter at the beginning of the sentence, spaces in between our words and the appropriate punctuation mark at the end of the sentence. Our new theme for the next month will be "plants!" Please make sure to send back the homework packet at the end of the month.

If you write a note we ask that you just leave the book open so we know to check it. Thanks!
