Tt can be found in the words Tuesday, toe, to, two and the. Uu is a vowel and makes 2 sounds. Sometimes it makes the short /u/ sound as in rug, bug, fun, under and Sunday. It can also say its' name like in the words universe, use and usually. Practice printing these letters at home. What words can you think of that rhyme with fun and with bug?

We are almost through the entire alphabet! Wow! I am really proud of the progress everyone has made learning their letters and sounds. Show your parents what you know and sing the "Do You Know Your Alphabet" song with them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RafnYeg2lIQ
This week we will be working on the letters Pp and Qq (peewee penquin and queeny quail). Pp can be found in the words puzzle, pencil, Ophelia and puppy. The lowercase p and q hang below the line when we print. Qq sounds like /kw/ and can be found in the words queen, quiet, quick, question and quilt. Notice anything special about those words????? The letters q and u stick together like glue! They are Best Friends!! Keep reviewing your sight words and letter sounds at home.
In Math, we are working on printing our numbers neatly and counting to 5.
We will be learning our song this week for the Christmas concert! Wow!
