If you cannot find an item, you can have your child draw a picture and write the corresponding word.  Some ideas for the "a" sound include: apple and ant.

Important Information:

This week, we will continue our apple theme.  I invite the children to bring in books, toys or objects related to our theme that we can place on our theme table in the class.  Please be sure to write your child' s name on the item or book so that I can easily return it to you.  Thank you in advance! 

We have many fun activities planned related to apples in the coming weeks. I am asking all children to bring 3 apples to school by Friday.  Please send in a red apple (a Red Delicious or McIntosh), a yellow apple (Golden Delicious) and a green apple (Granny Smith). Please send the apples to school as soon as possible.  We will use the apples to make apple sauce and for a taste test as well as some Science and Math lessons. 

Should your child wish to share a book, toy or object related to our theme with this class, he/she is welcome to bring it to school to add to our theme table.

I have posted some new pictures of the children on the website. Once you have clicked on the Photos tab, just click on the link below the title of the album to view the pictures. 

REMINDERS:

The dark blue and light blue duo-tangs will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday.  Throughout the week, please review the sound of the week and have your child complete the corresponding pages in the light blue duo-tang.  Please have your child practice singing the weekly songs/poems and complete the activity at the bottom of the page (if there is one) in the dark blue duo-tang. Please refer to the introduction letter for a more detailed explanation of this on the 2nd page in the dark blue and light blue duo-tangs.

Please continue to have your child practice writing his/her name EVERY DAY.  Please use the name card that was given to you on Meet the Teacher Night and have your child use lower case (small) letters for his/her name as opposed to all capital letters.  Thank you!
