Pumpkin Fun!

[image_thumb149.png]

Next week our whole group sound will be /i/ as in insect. We will be discussing insects along with things related to Thanksgiving. November will be a fun and busy month! Word wall words are:

did, in, it, this, sit

Make sure your child is able to read these words upon site for the unannounced word wall checks we will have during the nine weeks period.

In our DOL this week we will not learn any new grammar rule. We will continue practicing all previous rules learned since the beginning of school. If you look closely at your child’s DOL you will notice that we have been underlining the NOUNS in each sentence. Each Thursday we have a worksheet related to the rule for that week that is taken as a daily grade.

We will finish up chapter 3 on subtraction and test on Wednesday. Be sure your child has finished Chapter 3 in the Practice workbook. Our next chapter in Math will be Chapter 7. Continue to encourage your child to practice Math Facts at home. If you are still having problems logging in to Ren Place to practice your facts please let me know.

The Book Fair Is Here!

The Book Fair will be in the library this week. We went Friday to preview all that is on sale and there are some great books to choose from this year! Children may go to the book fair only if they have money. In the past I have had parents come and join us for lunch and then take their children to the book fair. If your schedule permits and you would like to shop with your child after joining us for lunch you are welcome to! If not they will still be able to shop at our scheduled time. There are other items besides books for sale, like “Dollar Tree” type items. Please discuss with your child what they may/may not purchase and label money intended for the book fair. There are volunteers in the library but each day when the children who have money go to the book fair I do not go with them. I always try to encourage them to purchase books that they can read and make wise choices when shopping, however please remember they are pretty much shopping on their own.

Nancy’s Italian Ice on sale tomorrow.

PTA meeting Tuesday November 8. Treat mom to a night off from cooking and come enjoy pizza, trivia and slide show of Blount activities.

Thank you for all your participation in Red Ribbon Week! It was too precious to see the children coming in each morning in their socks, shades, hats and team shirts! I wish you could have heard the sweet comments to each other about what they were wearing. This really is such a kind group of friends!

Halloween Hugs to all my favorite firsties!!
