This week we will be learning the
letter Hh as in hat, hippo, and
horse. As part of our study with
the letter Hh we will have a “Hat Day” on Thursday, September 19th. **Students are asked to wear a favorite
hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat.
(You can be creative with this if you want! Students will be able to wear the hat all day—we do just ask
that students do not share hats.) Show and Tell will be with items that begin
with the /h/ sound. Check your
schedule and start hunting! **PLEASE
NOTE, sight word flash cards will be sent home daily in the inner folder pocket
of your child’s folder. Please
return Ziploc bag to the folder after practicing, so new words can be added at
school throughout the year.

Our Reading story this week will be Plaidypus
Lost. We will be talking about
how families cooperate, we will be learning to recognize the letters Oo, Pp,
Qq, Rr, and Ss, and we will practice the comprehension skill: sequence. Watch for your Family
Times newsletter to come home in your child’s folder. Continue to read at home, talk about
story characters and setting, and recognize the letters from Aa-Nn, as well as
the high frequency words I and am.
~In
Math we will be starting Topic 2: Comparing and Ordering 0 to 5. Students should continue to practice
writing numbers 0-5 and sing the number writing verse for each number. We will compare using more, fewer, and same as and
learn ordinal numbers through fifth.
Please take some time to review the daily practice pages that your child
brings home in his/her KEEP side of the communication folder.
~
We will begin practicing writing our first names this week. Please watch your child as he/she is
writing. Be sure to check if
letters are beginning at the top, not the
bottom and also guide him/her to use the lines when forming letters. Capital letters should only be used at
the beginning of names!
~We
have begun talking about Bullying in our classroom and school. In the upcoming weeks we will be using
some storybooks and short videos to introduce bullying and will be discussing
our school and classroom rules.
~ ATTENTION: There will be a Fall Festival
Planning meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 17h @ 2 pm in the cafeteria. All who would like to help with the
preparations and planning are invited and encouraged to attend. (The more parent/grandparent volunteers, the
more activities @ the Fall Festival)
**The meeting may run until

you are unable to make the meeting on 9/17, but want to help and/or participate

Fall Festival will be held at the school on Thursday, Oct. 17th
**JUST A REMINDER: Clearances must be on file in the
office to help at the Fall Festival, but anyone can help with the
preparations and planning!!!
~Thank you to all who participated and
helped with the book fair this past week and to all who ordered books from our
class book orders for September.
~Students have been doing a terrific job
with completing HOMEWORK and bringing it back to school on time. Thank you to the parents for all your
cooperation and support with homework!!
~Parents
please check folders daily and remove all “KEEP” items. It becomes difficult to handle folders
with too many papers inside (both for the students and teachers). Thanks!!
~
Due to the changes in temperature inside and outside the school, some students
may want to bring a sweater or sweatshirt to keep in their cubbies in case they
feel chilly!
