Our letters of the week are Rr (Robbie rabbit)  and Ss (Sammy snake).  They are both consonants.  Rr is found in the words rice, rabbit, Keira, Tyler, Zackary, Drew and Friday.  Ss is found in Miss Matheson, snake, Samuel, Sidney, Jackson, seal and silly.  What happens to your mouth when you make these sounds?  Practice printing them at home and see how many words you can find with these letters. Keep practicing the sounds for all the letters and work on your sight words.   Ms. Bransfield will help us practice our song for the Christmas concert this week.  The concert will be on December 4th.   Report cards will be sent home on Monday.  Parents, please sign and return the envelope.  Parent teacher appointment times are attached to the report cards.  There is no school on Friday.   The Scholastic Book Fair will be at the school this week.  Our viewing times will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Library is Thursday - don't forget your books!
