This week we will be working on the letters Ff and Gg.  Show your parents the zoophonics sound and signal for Francie fish and Gordo gorilla.   Funny, Friday, first and fish start with the letter f.  The /g/ sound can be found in the words gum, guitar, dog and great.  What words do you know that begin or end with these letters? What would your name be if it started with these letters?  I'd be Fiss Fatheson or Giss Gatheson! That would be silly!!!  Practice printing these letters at home.  We are learning about rhyming.  Do cat and hat rhyme?  How about dog and muffin? Keep practicing the sight words for October (a, I, like, and, the, to).  In writer's workshop we will keep writing stories through pictures and work on stretching out our words for sounds.  Remember the more detail you add, the clearer the story becomes!    

        In Math, we are going to finish up our unit on patterns and spend time looking at the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! "abcya.com" has lots of fun Math games to try at home.

        Library is Thursday.  Show and Tell is Friday. Check the schedule to see if it's your turn.
