Week of Oct 24 th-28 th

Dear Parents,


Thank you all for coming in last Friday for conferences. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

This Friday is UN Day the students will be dismissed at 11:45. 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 be doing Alliteration activities with the kids. What is alliteration? Alliteration is the use of the same consonant sounds in words that are near each other. It is the sound, not the letter that is important: therefore ‘candy’ and ‘Cindy’ do not alliterate, but ‘cool’ and ‘kids’ do. It is a great exercise to help our kids learn phonetic alphabet awareness and develop concentration and memory skills. For example:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Sally swam silently in the sea.
The children will get the chance to do their own alliteration using their name!!!


Sight Words: These sight words were introduced last week and we will be working on them this week as well. Please practice these words at home with your child:
 as, with,they his, of

 In Math, we are going to be working with number 14 and continue our study with Ordinal Numbers 
1st -10th.
