This week we began our unit on Nursery rhymes. The children are enjoying
learning some of the classic rhymes as we practice many important pre-reading
skills. Rhyming is a very difficult concept for some children, but it is a
vital skill to learn. We have been practicing with different rhyming
activities, silly songs, and games. Please take some time to work with your
child on rhyming words. Perhaps pull out those Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss
books!
Homework went home today and can be found in the red Clifford folders. I am
using a Monday-Friday format, however, feel free to mix up the acitivities
and do them as convenient for your own schedule. Homework is due on Friday
but can be turned in early. If you have any questions about the homework
please contact me.

Wranglin'Reader Calendars were due this week. If you did not send one with
your child, please do so on Tuesday. I did not recieve calendars from the
following children; Brian, Richie, Jenna, Jared, Estell, Rachel, Sophie, and
Gaige. Please let me know if you need a new one and I'll be happy to send one
home. I'm hoping for 100% class participation!
Thank you so much for all of the items from our wish list. Several families
sent in large paper plates, baby wipes, cups, and zip-loc bags. We are still
in need of lunch size zip-loc bags, plastic utensils, craft foam sheets, and
pom-poms. Our treasure box can always use small toys and prizes as well :)
Your children keep me thoroughly entertained...they sure are sweet and
BUSY!! Please be sure to call or e-mail me with any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful long weekend,
