Week of October 4th, 2010

Picture Day is October 6th.

No School - Friday, October 8th and Monday, October 11th.

October 21st will be our trip to New Pond Farm. Please send back the permission slips and checks promptly. I will pick 2 chaperone names out of a hat and contact those parents by the end of the week.

We have been practicing the letter formation and sounds of the following letters: Ss, Bb, Hh, Tt, Ff, Ii, Kk. Please keep track of the 4 sight words that your child receives each week in their homework. You can make Bingo boards with these words or make 2 index cards for each word and play memory. Your child should be able to identify and spell these words.

The children will be picking a writing piece at the end of the week, editing it and turning it into a "published" piece. We will have a celebration of their work in our classroom next week. I plan on displaying these pieces in the hallway. If you are in the building in the next few weeks, please make sure that you take a look at our pieces.

The weather has not been cooperating for our Sunshine and Shadows unit but we are making the best of things. The children have been learning a lot about this topic in the computer lab through different sites in the ETC. Please visit these sites at home for reinforcement.

The children have been doing a wonderful job in math showing and telling addition and subtraction stories.
