I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend, especially the beautiful weather we had! It was a great weekend to play outside!   This week, we will be working on the letters o and p.  "Oo" is a hard working vowel and makes two sounds.  It can make the /o/ sound that's found in words like octopus, Ollie, dog, log, and long.  It can also say it's own name like it does in open, Olivia, November and ocean.   The /p/ sound can be found in words like penguin, pen, pepper, pop and push. It's fun to make the /p/ sound and make your lips pop!  Look around for more words with the letters o and p in them!   Keep practicing the sounds and printing the letters that we've covered so far (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m and n).   Our sight words this week will be: "go" and "am".  Keep practicing your sight word cards! Tell your parents how to spell the words: the, a, and, like, to and is!   In Math, we are going to keep counting and making sets to 5. We are also going to keep printing the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.   Your poetry books will be going home this week. Surprise your parents by reading the Monster and Little Poppy poems!   We are going to talk about ways to react when things don't go our way this week.  What can we do when someone or something makes us angry?   Friday is school spirit day.  Show your love for Gretna Green by wearing green and gold!
