Good Afternoon!

Hello parents and guardians,

Today, we worked on tracing and writing the letter "A".  First, I drew the letter A on the whiteboard. Then, we traced the letter and then began to free write it on a sheet of lined primary paper.  This went over pretty well because it was their first time tracing the letter A. You will find these exercises in your child's black book bag. Please sign and return every worksheet I sent home; they are aware that they will be rewarded one sticker per signed worksheet.

We also worked on patterns and recognizing and differentiating different letters. The same letters on the worksheet were to be coloured with the same colour. Many students did very well on this assignment. We also did a couple of other worksheets that dealt with patterns.

I sent home a writing and tracing rubric that is stapled to one of the worksheets done by your child. This is a rubric that is used for all letters (tracing and writing). Please take a look at the expectations and guidelines. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email or in person. If you have any free time with your child, please practice, practice, practice tracing and writing the vowels we learned in class: A, E, I, O, and U.

I will be sending home a new reading book tomorrow with each child.

Have a great night!

Ms. H.
