We are starting the eighth week of school. Time is moving quickly. I will begin to assess for report cards this week. I will be checking phone numbers and birthdays on Tuesday, October 7.
In only four lines, our poem last week taught the names of the four seasons, practiced reading the word "is" and had rhyming words. Can't beat that for instruction. Our poem this week will help us learn the three different kinds of punctuation that readers/writers use. Be sure to check book bags every Friday to see the new poem. Poetry journals need to be returned on Mondays.
We also had a second poem last weekend that gave us a reminder of how the letters should be written. That poetry journal has a lot of learning inside it. Please don't let it sit in back packs during the weekend.
In reading this week we begin to really focus on the letter Mm. We will be working on the initial, middle and ending sound of Mm. There is a blue half sheet of paper in Monday's binder that gives you some ideas on how to incorporate the letter Mm with your family (optional...nothing to be returned to school.) The high frequency words for the week are: have, is, we, my, like.
To celebrate the letter Mm,we will have a Mickey/Minnie Mouse day on Friday. Your child can bring ONE Mickey/Minnie Mouse item to school on Friday. Contact me if you do not have an item. Please do not go out and purchase anything.
In math, we are moving into the the numbers and quantities of 6-9. You can help out at home by making sure we can read the words: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine.
Don't forget to be playing this computer game at home; either the five frame game or the ten frame game. September calendar pages will be sent home this week. As you look at the calendar pages, ask your child to tell you what we do with each page.
Nancy's Italian Ice is Monday for $1.00. Please return the library book on Monday.
Blount is collecting money for the United Way this week. Children may participate by purchasing paper footballs for $1.00 each. We will culminate the United Way week on Friday by wearing our favorite team jersey/t-shirt.
Last chance to purchase the Fall Festival t-shirt is Wednesday.The fall festival t-shirt is considered spirit wear and can be worn on any Friday. The PTA does not order extra fall festival t-shirts so get one now. The Fall Festival is Thursday, October 16 at the ball fields across the street from the school. It is an evening of inflatables, pony rides, games, baked goods and concession food. It is a favorite night for the children. More information will be coming home soon about the fall festival.
Book order flyers were sent home on Thursday. I will place the book order Wednesday night. Book orders are optional and come home once a month.
Information was sent home on Thursday about the Pumpkin Patch field trip. Payment is due October 10 for the pumpkin patch. Lunch is included. Please mark on the permission slip form if you are able to chaperone. We painted pumpkins last week. Check out our preparations for welcoming October by clicking right here.
