Thanks for sending in clean towels and reuse bags in on Mondays.

Thank you for sending in library books on Wednesdays

Half Day on Friday, October 7 *we will not use the front door for dismissal. Your child will be sent to their regular door or bus line.

What We Have Been Learning:

Phonemic Awareness: We continue to listen for rhymes, beginning and ending sounds and break apart words. This has been such good practice and I remind our class that this practice makes them better readers and writers.

Phonics: We focuses on rhymes this week. This is a fun activity to do at home or in the car. Say a word and ask your child to think of a rhyming word. I distinguish between real words and nonsense or silly words. Sometimes rhyming can be silly fun 🙂

Math: We were challenged with new ways to use our math tools. We wrapped up our first unit and will move on to unit 2 next week.

Read to Self: We continue to build our stamina for reading to self. This week we made it as high as 10 minutes! I would love to see a few consistent days of reading at least 10 minutes. Students read the words, read the pictures and retell the story.

Bible: We read the story of Adam and Eve and the fall. It is sad when we make mistakes and there are consequences. We are comforted that God forgives us and still loves us!
