I hope everyone enjoyed our Thanksgiving Break.
Our letter this week is Dd. Look for this letter in December, duck, dog, and
dinosaur.
I'm still working on plans for the Christmas Party. We will not have a gift
exchange. Each child will need to bring a bag of wrapped Christmas candy OR
party favors for 20 children.
School will dismiss on Friday, December 18, at approximately 10:30. Watch for
confirmation on that time. Students will return on Tuesday, January 5, 2010.
Toy Day will be on Friday, January 8. Toy Day will not be rescheduled in the
event that school is dismissed for snow. Toys should fit into your child's
backpack and be something that can be shared during the day. Do not send
NintendoDS, PSP or any expensive toys. Broken items cannot be replaced by the
school. Small items such as Barbie's shoes, etc. should be left at home.
Please send snacks when you can. Remember that snacks that are prepackaged in
portion sizes are easiest for us to handle. We now have 20 students in our class.
Our sight words are: I, a, am, an, as, at, be, by, do, go, he, if in, is, it, me
Our numbers are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12
We've added the number words from zero to twelve this week.
Practice recognizing numbers and number words to 12 at least.
We are working on skip counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.
Count down from 10-1. Begin working on counting past your child’s “bump”.
The “bump” is that speed bump the child comes to when counting, typically
after 29 or 39. We’ll be working on that as well.
Keep reviewing /d/,/i/, /r/, /n/, /p/,/s/, /c/,/a/, f/,/m/, /t/ and /b/ and
writing capital and lower case s,c,a,f,m,t,p,n,r and d.
Please remember to have your child return library books on Tuesdays and wear
tennis shoes on Fridays for P.E. Your child's back pack is a wonderful place
to keep library books safe from pets and younger siblings!
This is Rufus.
