Trimester One Goals

Hello Everyone!  

We have been working hard this week on rituals and routines, making sure we are following all of our class and school expectations, and having fun!  We have been working on shapes and sorting in math.  I have attached a link to some games for your child to practice this skill.  You can also practice at home by sorting different things:

Socks (By color)

Shoes (By size)

Buttons (By shape)

Here's a fun game to practice sorting:
