Tuesday

We are off to a great start this week! We are learning about the letters P and C as well as lots of things that start with those letters. We are also continuing our review of numbers 0-5 and figuring out how many that is. This weeks words are; my, the, I, green, yellow, red.

On Friday, a new homework packet went home. If you have any questions on any of the homework please don't hesitate to ask me! The kids seem to be really excited about having homework so hopefully they are just as excited about doing it.

Remember, I will be gone Thursday and Friday of this week. Mrs. Banner will be my sub.

Friday is also the root beer float party. Kindergarten is asked to bring vanilla ice cream. If you are able to help by donating ice cream please send them with your child on Thursday or Friday or drop them off in the office.

Every one's behavior has been great and Fun Friday has been a success. Please encourage your child to always come home with green. If your child gets 2 or more yellow lights they will not participate in Fun Friday. This Friday's treat will be the root beer float party. If your child gets 2 or more yellow lights, they will not be able to participate. I know this is a great goal to work towards and everyone is trying their hardest to get greens all week!

Homework will also be part of their Fun Friday goal, on the weeks that homework is due, if your child does not turn in their homework, they will not be able to participate in Fun Friday. This is to try to encourage your student to always turn in their homework on time.

On Tuesday, we will be having our first spelling test! Students will be asked to spell the following words:

my
the
I
Pp
Cc
Ss
Tt
Mm
Rr
and their name.

I will give the students these words orally and they will need to reproduce them on their paper. For the letters, I will say the letter sound and they will need to write what letter corresponds with this sound. Please work with your child at home on practice spelling tests so everyone can get 100%!

Remember, picture day is this Thursday! If you want to order pictures don't forget to turn in the picture packet on or before Thursday.

I hope everyone has a great week! If you have any questions please email me.
