We will be working on the letter Ee this week. Ee is a hard working vowel that makes 2 sounds. Sometimes it says /e/ as in egg, elephant, Elle and Elmo.  It can also say its' name /e/ as in Easter, eagle and Eva! Look for the letter Ee at home, practice printing it and make lists of words that have the letter e. 

           Keep practicing your sight words: I, and, to, the, like, a.  Try writing sentences using these words.  (I like pizza.  Owen and Roman like to play with cars.)

          It's fire prevention week.  We will have some special firefighter visitors on Thursday.

          Remember to bring back your library book for Thursday.

            This is a short week in Kindergarten.  There is no school on Thursday and Friday (PD Days).  We will spend the week reviewing the letters Aa (Allie Alligator), Bb (Bubba Bear), Cc (Catina Cat) and Dd (Deedee Deer).  At home, have your child search for these letters, practice printing the letters and find things that begin with each of these sounds. 

          We have started learning some sight words to help as we get ready to learn to read.  Our words for October are: I, like, to, the, and, a.  New sight words will be sent home each month.  When reading, it's important to be able to quickly identify these words in print.

         In Math, we are working on creating, extending and recognizing patterns.  We are also looking at the numbers 1 to 5.

         Homework will begin next week. A calendar will be sent home with a list of  activities to complete.  Your child will also take home some books to read.  When reading them with/to your child, have them point out various letters, sounds, punctuation, etc.  Homework books will be sent home at the begining of the week and are to be returned to school on Fridays.

         Have great week and enjoy your Thanksgiving long weekend!
