February

Hello SKILL parents it has been a great year so far your students are working hard and doing great.

Please note: Parent-teacher interviews will be coming up in March, on the 19^th and 20^th Please watch for my email at the beginning of March to let you know when you can book a time.

Movement Game

Here is what we've been doing;

New to our floor is a Movement game which has been painted right in the classroom. the students get the opportunity to jump through the game to improve coordination and help with their moving needs. It has been great fun and we will be adding to and changing it over time.

LIteracy

Here in SKILL the students are finishing up their work on the parts of the body and the five senses. Everyone has worked hard on the new vocabulary and everyone has seen success in various ways. It has been great.  A lot of the work that we have done will be highlighted in our spring assembly set to take place in May. (date will be finalized soon).

The Skill students have also been working on sentence development. The focus is on using periods at the end of thoughts or statements such as ‘I like ice-cream.’ Or ‘I am Tom.’ A sentence book will be coming home with your student please read through it with them as a good way to practice vocabulary and sentence development. Remind them that the period is there to end the thought.

Math

We have been working on number identification and the students are completing their booklets and bringing them home. Please use these to sit down and review with your children they are very proud of the work they have done as am I.
