I am looking forward to meeting with everyone in the upcoming two weeks! Remember that for the next two weeks, dismissal will be at 1:15 daily. If you need to check your conference time, you can find it in your email. Please note that this sign-up can no longer be edited. If you need to reschedule your conference, please email me.
Special Family Project
I am excited to see all the decorated turkeys this week! You can start sending those in on Monday, but no later than Wednesday. Remember that Wednesday envelopes will go home on Tuesday the 8th this week, so if you'd like to send your child's turkey back in the envelope on Wednesday, that would be perfect.
Classroom Help
I've added a few more dates on the Sign-Up Genius for centers in December. I've decided to do an additional week of centers in December, the week of 12/5. Please see the Sign-Up Genius if you are interested.
Friendship Feast
Thank you for signing up so quickly to help out and bring items for our Friendship Feast on 11/18 at 10:00. Several people were very generous with their time and food donations! If anyone who signed up for multiple things would like to drop out of an item, that would be totally fine. The Sign-Up Genius is for the entire grade level, so there are plenty of people to fill the slots. Please let me know if you are unable to join us for the Feast so that I can pair your child with another family to get help with going down the buffet line. Thank you!
In Class This Week
Language Arts
We are about to wrap up the introduction of all letters when we introduce the letters Xx and Yy this week. The only letters remaining are Qq and Zz. If you notice that your child does not recognize all upper & lower case letters, as well as know all letter sounds, please provide additional reinforcement at home. To help your child form this week's letters correctly, please see the Fundations Family Letter. Our sight words this week are yes and no. For a list of the 19 sight words (also called high frequency words) we've introduced so far, as well as all words we'll be studying this year, please see the class website. Again, if you notice that your child is not able to read these sight words, please continue working on them at home.
Math
This will be a review week in math. Children should continue working on counting to 100 by 1s and 10s, counting on from any given number, and writing numbers legibly and correctly to 20.
**Library is every Wednesday. Please return your child's library book by Tuesday each week.
**Remember to wear shoes and clothes appropriate for fitness on Mondays.
