Please remember to send back the letter stating whether or not you will attending the parent teacher conference.
Also, Room 110 is in need of paper towels and Kleenex. Please if you can, please help by sending these items with your child. Thanks in advance.
Each week I will select a student to send home our class Letter Bag. The letter bag consists of a few library books, practice activities, and a journal.
The student and their families are asked to search for a word that begins with any of our previous letters of the week. Once a previous letter or current letter is found, ask your child to state the beginning letter of the found word. After you and your child have discussed the words, please write those words in the journal provided. In addition to the words, please ask your child their favorite part of each book.
We are learning about the letter sounds, showing picture of words beginning with each letter, how to write, finding letters we've studied in books, in the room. In addition, we are reviewing our previous letters of the past few weeks, such as 'Aa', 'Mm', 'Tt', 'Ff' & 'Ss', 'Pp', 'Ii', 'Nn', 'Oo', 'Cc', 'Hh', 'Dd', 'Rr' & next week 'Ll'.
