Ready for this? It’s gonna be a long one!

During the second nine weeks, PK4 learned about the letters T, I, N, C, O, F, H, and D; the numbers 6-10; and the colors green and purple.

They also read lots of new stories (The Three Bears, We Are Family, What Can Pop?, Little Red Hen, My Garden, It Is Hot!, Little Juan and the Cooking Pot, and Dad Can Cook), practiced sounding out and blending words, and learned five more sight words: the, it, are, my, is.

They were tested for their report cards at the end of the semester on lots of skills, including making the sign of the cross correctly, reciting the Glory Be prayer, writing and recognizing numbers 1-10, counting aloud, sets 1-10, and all of the letters covered in the first semester. Rory did very well!

They had a special morning assembly on December 1 and the whole school donated teddy bears to a great cause. Rory’s classmate Scarlet’s dad started a program to provide policemen with bears to comfort kids involved in accidents, domestic disputes, etc. The school collected so many bears this day; it was awesome!

Rory’s behavior is still stellar, his handwriting is much improved (especially when he takes his time, Mrs. Sue says), he loves to answer questions in class, and he is kind to his friends. We couldn’t ask for anything more!
