December news

Time is flying by!  It was nice chatting with everyone during conference time.  If you haven't returned the yellow envelope, please do so.  These will be used for the next progress report.
We have been busy learning more letters, we have just a few more to go!  We are looking at the endings of words when we are decoding and trying to show them at the end of words when we're writing.  Try stretching some words out at home.  We've added a lot of sight words to the word wall!  The kids are recognizing them everywhere!  We have started learning about putting groups together (addition) and will eventually start writing the number sentences. 
We continue to talk about how to be a good friend, being kind, and accepting others (our value for the month is acceptance).  We are working on filling a jar with pom poms for a class reward.  After reading the book, How Full is your Bucket? we thought we would try to fill each other's buckets!

We continue to have fun with our friends and are working hard to share and cooperate!

October news

We learned a lot about weather and made our own clouds!

We are learning so many letters!  So far we have covered t,f,b,n,m,i,u,c,o,a,g,d and s!  We've been matching the lowercase to the uppercase, printing them, and working on their sounds!  We are getting very good at them!  We're also continuing to rhyme and now figure out how many syllables (parts) are in words!  Practice some with your child!  Our sight word list is also growing!  We currently have the words a, am, an, at, can, I, in, it, mom, on and the on our word wall!  It would be great to have your child spot those spots in books you are reading!  They are very excited when they see a word they recognize!

Our Halloween parade/party is on October 31st at 1:15.  All are welcome to watch the parade from outside.  Please send your child's costume in a labeled bag that day.


Some great hair styles today for Crazy Hair day!

Halloween Fun!  A little rain didn't ruin our parade!  We have a wonderful party too!  Many thanks to Mrs. Crocker, Mrs. Parton, Mrs. Falotico and Mrs. Horne for a great time!
