Monday of the short Oct. Week

WOW! Monday was a marvelous day! We started our second unit of Reading Street and will be looking at how plants and animals are unique. We talked about how 'unique' means one of a kind and very special. Maybe that's why our day went so well, everyone was feeling extra special!

We added 6 links to our kindness chain, that more than doubles what we had so far! The children worked hard, played hard and enjoyed each other during our school day.

Tomorrow we will have a story called "Flowers" and talk about the different parts of a flower. Our amazing words are: bloom, buds, fruits, petal, seeds, and stem.

Our letter for this week is "A a" (next week will be S s - sorry about that!) We learned that this letter is a vowel and has more than one sound. We are working hard to make the circle for the lower case 'a' in a counterclockwise circle and then go down and add a monkey tail. We will revisit this vowel many times during the year. Our high-frequency words are 'have' and 'is'.

We will not have show and tell for "A a" week because we miss too many afternoons!

Next week we will get back on schedule with Show and Tell during "S s" week because it is a five day week!

Tell your child how proud Mrs. Clapper is that they were kind and considerate all day today!

Mrs. Hansen will be in Tuesday afternoon to share this short week. Please don't forget our early dismissal:

12:00 Wednesday, October 2oth

Sincerely, Carol Clapper
