Picture Day is HERE !!! Picture Day will be Friday, the 23rd. We will be taking pictures as a whole class, up on the risers, so
keep in mind that your child’s whole body will be in the picture! So cute!
Here’s what’s coming up for next week…
·
Apple Festival!! Our annual
apple festival is Friday, the 23rd during center time. We will have many fun centers in both
classrooms, as well as outside. We
would LOVE to have parents to help us run the centers outside! If you are willing/available to volunteer,
we’d love to have you. See you there!
·
Friday is a busy day as we will
also have our whole school Beach Party and Carnival from 2:30-5:30 presented by
our wonderful MCA. We are desperately in need of volunteers. Each class is
responsible for a booth. Therefore we need supplies as well as your time. We
need parents to work the booths to ensure a good time for all the children.
PLEASE sign up on our SIGN UP GENIUS. We really need your participation so all
the work doesn’t fall on just a few parents. Thank you for helping us to make
this fundraiser success!
·
DONATIONS NEEDED--We
will be using lots of apples on Thursday for tasting, and measuring, and
stamping them. If you are able to
donate yellow, green or red apples, please let your teacher know! THANK YOU!!! If you are interested in donating an apple pie or other fun
apple treat, please see your child’s teacher.
·
Guided Reading Books—We
will send home little guided reading books with your child. These are the books that we read with your
child each day. Please help us to keep
these beloved and VERY important books safe.
Please return them EVERY day in your child’s folder in the little Ziploc
bag provided. ****If your child does
NOT receive one, it is because he/she is not ready for books at this time and
is still working on letter sounds and high frequency words.****
·
Tying Shoes: Please
practice tying shoes with your child at home. This is an appropriate time
developmentally for your child to work on their fine motor skills as they are
now capable of mastering this skill. We have many students who wear shoes
that tie, and many untied shoes that are in need of tying. We are giving
pride cards to the students who show us that they can tie shoes. It is an
awesome skill that they should be proud of! Thank you for your support at
home!
·
Homework this week—We’re
continuing to work on proper handwriting for homework, as well as high
frequency words and writing a sentence.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE work on letter sounds with your child at
home. There are 30 letter sounds that
we test your child on, 26 letters in the alphabet and the digraphs, /sh/, /ch/,
/th/, /wh/. ALL students need to continue
to work on sounds, as well as stretching out/segmenting sounds in
simple CVC words on their own. We
work on letter sounds and High Frequency Words every day in class,
but if you are doing flashcards or put them on the fridge or on the wall at
home for more exposure, you will notice that they will learn them much
quicker.
·
Our theme next week
continues to be APPLES, and our new word wall word is “my.” NOW, we know the following High
Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, and & my.
·
Writing—We continue to
write every day! We are expecting your
child to know the words “I, see, the, like, is, a & my.” Please encourage them to write those every
day. You can even start writing simple
sentences such as, “I like the ____.”
OR “ I see a _____.” Have your
child stretch out the sounds of the unfamiliar word or draw a picture. If your child is ready, please encourage
MORE in their writing!!! We always
encourage more detail and words in sentences if kids are ready. Daily writing practice helps tremendously.
·
LIBRARY—please return
your library books by Thursday at the latest, as we will go to the library each
Friday. Please help us by reiterating the process of checking out a book---
find one you’d like, take it to Mrs. Sagara our librarian, find your library
card on the table, check out your book, and then take your book home in your
backpack. We still have some confusion
about checking out books. J We are still learning!!
Folders & Homework— Just a friendly
reminder, we send homework packets home
on Mondays and we do not collect homework until Fridays. However, your child’s
folder needs to brought to school EVERY DAY. Thanks!!!
Thank you again for all that you do at home to
support your child’s learning. We
appreciate all that you do! Please feel
free to email with any concerns or questions!
Thank you!!
