Friday- Mm Show and Tell
Phonics list 1 test

This week we will be learning the consonant letter Mm and its sound as in monkey and mom.  We will have Show & Tell. Phonics list 1 test will be given on Friday.

In Reading we will read the book Animal Babies in Grasslands by Jennifer Schofield.  We will be talking about grassland animals, review the letter Pp and the /p/ sound, and practice the comprehension skill main idea.  The words we, my, and like will be introduced as new high frequency words.

For Math we will begin Topic 4:  Comparing and Ordering Numbers 0-10.  Take some time to practice number writing and counting sets, and be sure to review daily practice pages.

Daylight Savings Time ended on Sunday, November 3^rd.  Clocks should be turned back 1 hour.  (As the student handbook states, once the clocks change, students are NO longer able to wear shorts to school.  When the clocks move forward in spring then students can begin wearing shorts (weather permitting) to school again.)  FALL BACK…SPRING FORWARD

Thank you to ALL the classroom helpers who helped with the Halloween party and parade and also to all the friends and family who came to watch the parade.  It was a BOO-tiful time for all.

Just a reminder; Be sure your child has a jacket, mittens or gloves, and a hat (which can be kept in cubbies or backpacks) so that when we go outside for our 30 minute recess the students are prepared for any changes in temperature or for the lengthy time outside.  We try to get outside whenever possible—if dressed properly, the fresh air does us good!!!  Also, have your child practice putting on, taking off (pulling sleeves back out), and zipping/buttoning his/her coat.
