First Full Week of October

It was great to meet so many grandparents today!  I hope everyone enjoyed their lunch!  I know the kids were all so excited about their book purchases from the book fair!  Thank you SO much for all the donated books!  I can't wait to introduce them to the class.

This week in reading, we will focus on phonics skills and accuracy  (How to read words) strategies.  We will focus on blends (2 or 3 letters that blend sounds together.  You can still hear each sound.  Ex. tr, fl, gr, pl, pr, etc.)  and digraphs (2 or 3 letters that work together to make one sound.  Ex.  ch, th, sh, wh, ph, etc.)  Our test on Friday will be on blends, digraphs and a comprehension story with questions.

The sun will come out, tomorrow!!!  We will go see Annie tomorrow!  Since my own little "orphan" will be in the play, I am really excited about going to see this play.  I know the kids at SYAA have been working SO hard to present a great performance!  The version we will see tomorrow will be an abbreviated version.  To see the entire production (It is the full Broadway version that goes about 2 1/2 hours), you will need to purchase tickets for the weekend shows.  Please remember that since we are going on a field trip, ALL students need to wear their school uniforms tomorrow.  That means school polo, khaki pants, skirts or shorts...  NO BLUE JEANS.

I am looking forward to a great week!  This is the last week of the first quarter.  Reports cards will go home next Wednesday.
