Welcome back to the routine of school! I hope you had a wonderful break!
We will have a lot to share tomorrow so there may or may not be reading homework depending on what we get to in the day. Check binders. We will definitely have homework on Tuesday and for the rest of the week.
Nancy's Italian Ice for $1.00 will be on Monday. As well as it is our library day. Also please return poetry journals so that we can start learning a new poem.
If you have not done so, please send in the $8.00 Christmas craft money as soon as possible. We will be making those on Wednesday. Please make every effort to have your child at school on time on Wednesday.
This week we will be discussing the letter Dd as in dog in a doghouse. The sight words (word wall words ) are: The, the, as.
Do not get concerned if your child writes a lowercase d and b backwards. We are working on that in the classroom. It is a very common occurrence at this age. To make a lowercase d, I instruct the children to think of a doorbell. First you ring the doorbell (the round part of the lowercase d) and then you open the door (the straight part of the lowercase d). When writing a lowercase d, make the doorbell first and then the door. If you put the door first and then the doorbell, it would be a lowercase b. Just a little bit of our classroom lingo to help out at home.
In math, we continue to build number sentences for numbers up to 10.
November calendar pages will come home on Friday.
We are still collecting EMPTY toilet tissue rolls for a Christmas secret!
For the month of November, we have been working on learning if a letter of the alphabet is a vowel or a consonant. We know that vowels are letters that holds a word together, just like glue. Give us a word, any word, and ask us to identify the vowels in a word. We know that y is an "I can't decide" letter. Y can't decide if it is a vowel or a consonant.
Book orders will come home on Monday. Our on-line ordering code is GL88R or you can send a check to school (payable to Blount.) The last day to order books is Friday, November 30. Book orders will be back in time for Christmas.
Contact me with any questions or concerns. These next four weeks are going to fly by. Enjoy this special time with your child.
