Here are a few things happening this week:
* In Literacy, we will be working on the letter K k. So many exciting words begin with this letter, such as, kangaroo, kite, Kyle, kool-aid, king, and kind. Show and Tell will be on Thursday this week so have fun hunting around your home for something that begins with the /k/ sound.

Here are some things happening this week at Gretna Green:
* In Literacy, we will be working on the letter I i. This interesting letter is a very hard working letter because it makes two sounds; our short /i/ sound as in Inny Inchworm and a long i sound that says its own name. Some words that begin with the short /i/ are infant, insect, itch, index, and Isabellle. Some words that begin with the long i sound are ice, Ireland, island, idea, and iron. Show and Tell will be on Friday so have fun hunting for something that begins with the letter I i.
* In Math, we are working on numbers 0 to 5. When you are home, show Mom or Dad, Grammy or Grampy how you can count to 5 forwards and then backwards.
* Congratulations to our class for being October's Class of the Month! Way to go boys and girls!
