November+4+to+November+8

Language

The letter of the week is C. The Jolly phonics song is Castanets-a-clinking...CCC We will focus on the hard C sound (car), but I have mentioned that C makes two sounds, the soft C (circle). Please remind your child to find an item at home with the hard C sound!

Also, we are focussing on rhyming for the next two weeks. The children will listen for rhyming words (do cat and bat rhyme?) as well as match rhyming words (what rhymes with cat?). Please practice this at home whenever you can. Note that rhyming words do NOT have to be real words.

Math

This week we will be continuing to look at patterns. We will go on scavengar hunts all week to find patterns around us int he school (window, stud, windo, stud). We will also discuss that patterns exist all around us; days of the week, seasons, and life cycles.

Thanks to all those that sent in treats for Halloween. The kids enjoyed them throughout the day. Also, I hope you all enjoyed out little performance at the school assembly!

OPEN HOUSE - The open house will run from 2:30 to 4:30 on Thursday, November 14, 2013. This is an opportunity for you to come in and take a look around the class to see what we have been up to. We have a house to show off and also many math activities to share. Please come and see how your child spends his or her day!
