Welcome to another wonderful week of school! Thank you for all of your help and generosity for our Thanksgiving Feast. The food was delicious and we had a great time! If you brought the stuffing in a container and did not get it back on Tuesday it will be coming home today. Again, thank you so much for your help!
We will be having a Holiday Show on Wednesday, December 15th, at Grace School up on Pima. We are singing Jingle Bell Rock and are practicing very hard at school but need some extra practice at home. I am sending home the lyrics so you can rock out as a family!
This week we are learning the letter F and the sound that it makes. For homework we are still working on writing new words as well as sounding out and reading. Please keep filling out your reading logs, they are looking great! This week we are also learning to tell time to the hour, a new concept we are very excited about!
Please keep reviewing numbers to 50 at home. Making flash cards to identify the numbers is a great way of practicing at home. Making a memory game is another great way of practicing identifying the numbers in a fun way. Please also review with your student the letters we have learned so far and the sounds they make.
It is starting to get cold outside and that means it is sweater season! Sweaters and sweatshirts that are acceptable in the classroom are solid red, navy blue or white. If your student wears a different color not in dress code they may wear it outside but not in the classroom. Please label your student’s sweater or jacket. If it goes missing it is much easier to find if it is labeled with a first and last name.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 1st, is Dollar for Duds Day. Your student may dress down for a dollar tomorrow. Please remember to dress warm!!!
Tomorrow, Wednesday December 1st, is also our turn to shop at the holiday shop. If you would like your child to shop, please fill out the order form for how much you would like each student to spend on each member of the family.
I'm looking forward to another great week!

Week of November 15th
Welcome to another wonderful week of school!
On Tuesday, November 23rd, the school has a Thanksgiving Feast. Each grade brings in a different feast item and this year we have dressing. We need each student to bring in at least one prepared box of dressing that Tuesday morning. If you can make more that would be greatly appreciated.

This week I am attaching a cornucopia to color and fill with different fruits and vegetables that you can find in magazines and newspapers. We will use these to decorate our room for the Thanksgiving Feast.
This week homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on Friday. We are working on writing words that we are learning to sound out in phonics. Please make sure that your student can sound out the words and tell you what they are. Blending can be a tough skill for some students so be patient with your child. Some fun games to play to help with this are letter Bingo or a game we call “Flyhunter.”
Also please count with your student every night. Our next goal to count to without skipping any numbers is 50. Please also review what the teen numbers look like, these are often a challenge for students.
