week of October 13-17
Dear parents:
This week we are reviewing the letters A-E as well as the –at word family. The –at word family includes words that rhyme like cat, fat, mat, etc. Encourage your child to make up words that rhyme. We are working on shape number and color recognition also; help your student identify various shapes, colors and numbers around the house and neighborhood. Last Friday I sent home a decodable book for your child to read, she/he still needs to read this book daily at least 3 times until the new one is sent home. The homework activities which are sent home on Monday and Wednesday need to be completed at home under parent supervision.
It is very important that you check the orange folders on a daily basis and sign the conduct sheet; this is how I communicate with you about your child’s behavior in class. Please be sure that the orange folder and conduct sheet is brought to school everyday.
The field trip is approaching, please make sure you have sent in the $10.00 for your child to attend, the cost for chaperones is also $10.00. Your student will need a sack lunch on the day of the field trip and please no lunch kits or glass containers. On the day of the field trip students are to wear uniforms. For parents who plan on going with us: IT IS YOUR RESPONISIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE CLEARED IN THE OFFICE. All money and permission slips are due no later than Thursday October 23, 2008.
Should you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to post on the blog, send and email or call me.
Thank you,
Ms. Stephens
