November 6, 2009

Dear Families,

While studying the letter Ss we learned about spiders and sharks. The kindergartners pretended that some Super Socks gave them special powers. In their journals they told the teachers what super powers the Super socks gave them. The kindergartners learned the following blends this week: sl, st, sn, sp sm, and spl. The boys and girls have 5 new flashcards. These high frequency words can be sounded out, but reading is easier if they can remember it quickly without having to sound them out each time. Cut these flashcards apart and practice them OFTEN! We took a fall walk on Friday. (If the weather cooperated.)

Next week we will be studying the letter Ff. For sharing please send something that starts with the letter Ff.

We have noticed that some of the boys and girls are still in need of new crayons. You may replace them with boxes of 16 or 24 crayons. Check with your kindergartner to see if the glue stick needs to be replaced also.

Thanksgiving is coming up! School will be dismissed early on Wednesday, November 25th. Students that walk home or are picked up are dismissed at 2:20. Bus students are dismissed at 2:25. There will be no school on Thursday, November 26th or Friday, November 27th.

As the weather starts turning colder we must think about boots, snowpants, hats, mittens, and coats. Please make sure that your child is prepared for cold, wet weather. Please put your child’s name in every piece of outerwear brought to school.

Have a nice weekend!
