I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Many of the kids were very excited to come in this morning and tell me all about their weekend and how they decorated for Christmas. We were lucky to decorate our classroom today for Christmas! We put up a small Christmas tree and will be making some ornaments for it soon! Our classroom was filled with Christmas cheer as we sang Christmas songs while decorating, we are also starting our countdown to Christmas in the hallway. Each day we will add a cotton ball to Santa's beard and evenutally his beard will be full and Christmas will be here.
Here is a look at this week...
Monday
Letter Ii picture page for homework. Remember that we only learn the short i sound, as in igloo, inch, and ill. These are due back tomorrow.
CONGRATS to Sammy, he is our Star of the Week!!
Scholastic book orders were sent home. Please return them by Friday, December 4th, to ensure delivery by Christmas break.
Our new word list was sent home for letter Ii. Please remember to spend some time each night with your child reading the new words. When we have extra time in class we play hangman using our words we can read, this would be lots of fun at home too!
Tuesday
I will begin testing the students for their progress report. On your child's progress report, they will be expected to read 10 different words that we have learned in school. (These are all words that have been in our letter book, as well as on your word list). Your child will also be expected to print numbers 1 through 10. We are doing well with our numbers, but I am still seeing some reversals, tomorrow I will be sending home number printing for homework. If you need extra printing paper, just ask :)
We will be taking our next picture with our class tree! Check in tomorrow for the picture.
Wednesday
In Religion we are discussing how our families are a sign of God's love. If you can, please send in a picture of your family for your child to share with the class.
Number printing practice for homework, due back tomorrow.
Thursday
Computers & Art!
Friday
Progress Reports are being sent home.
Rest towels are coming home.
Scholastic Book Orders are due. Remember you can still go online and order!
Just a reminder that we do try to go outside everyday, even if it just for a few minutes to get some fresh air. Hats, mittens, and scarves are great!
Have a great week!
