First Trimester Skills

Dear Parents,

            We just wanted to send you a list of skills we are  working on the 1^st trimester of school. Your child will be tested on these skills at the end of the trimester. You will receive a report card at that time so you know what your child has mastered and what your child still needs to work on. Thanks for all your support.    

Math

·         Identifies numbers 1-20

·         Counts to 20

·         Identifies basic shapes (square, triangle, rectangle, circle, diamond, oval)

·         Recognizes and extends an ABAB and ABC pattern

·         Skip counts by 10

·         Counts objects with one-to-one correspondence (given a number can show that number using manipulatives)

Writing

·         Uses an acceptable pencil grip

·         Prints first name correctly

Reading

·         Identifies rhyming words

·         Identifies 90% of sounds of letters studied

·         Identifies sight words studied

·         Identifies 70% of letter names

          The skills that are included on this list can and should be reviewed by you with your child at home.  We suggest working on the skills that are being taught that week and which are also included on our monthly calendar.  This will help your child to reinforce the skill!  If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call.
