Dear Parents,
This week we are going to be
working with the letter Cc. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on
are: cage, cucumber, camel, camera,
candle, cap, carrots, clock, clown, cup, comb, corn, cafeteria, coins, and
cousins.
In our phonemic awareness we are
going to start studying Ending
Consonants. By this, we mean the ending consonant they hear in words such
as bat, dog, paper, and pencil. We are NOT
focusing on ending sounds like house, mice, and candle.
In Math we are going to work with number 16 and with the
concepts of top, middle, bottom. The children will make sets with this number
and sequence numbers from 0 to 16.
In Science, we will continue working with FOOD. Last week we talked about food they eat during breakfast,
lunch and dinner. This week we are going to focus on the Food Pyramid and what
does each category mean. The students will get the chance to do a Food Pyramid
with cutouts from magazines, newspaper, supermarket brochures, etc. If you have
any food pictures that we can use, we would greatly appreciate you sending them
to school. We will talk about the difference between healthy food and junk
food.
On Wednesday we are celebrating UN Day. For this reason, your
child does not need to bring snack on this day. We would also like to remind
you that there is an early dismissal on this day. Children are dismissed from
school at 11:45 a.m.
On Thursday we are celebrating Book Character Day. Your child
can come to school with a costume that they can wear all day long. Please avoid
costumes that will make it difficult for your child to run, sweat a lot or that
can be hard for them to go to the bathroom. If you wish you can send extra
clothes in their backpack for them to change whenever they want to. We are
going to go trick-or-treating around the school. For this we need your help. We
are going to be assigning you with one treat to send for the children. Also,
the book character committee has decided to provide a snack and lunch for all
the students. Therefore, on this day you do NOT need to send a lunchbox with
your child to school.Grades 3, 4 and 5 will be hosting a live wax museum of book characters during the second period.
TIP OF
THE WEEK: Read with
fun in your voice.
Read to your child with humor and expression. Use different
voices for different characters. Ham it up!
