What has been going on?

We have been very busy learning to read our color words.  Does your child know how to read all their color words?

We finished our first month of writing journals.  The journals came home today. Children have been writing"I can see a ______(color word)_______(creative spelling of something that color).

I also have sent home a volunteer calendar today.  Please write your name in the calendar box and write down the time you are able to help out.    If I have several parents wanting to help out on the same day, I will let you know.  I will also send home a master schedule for the parents that have signed up.

Homework totes...they go home on Monday and need to be returned on Friday.  I only have 8 bags, so not everyone will have one.  They will need to be rotated through out the class.

Sorting, sorting, sorting.....We were able to sort many different ways today. Ask your child how we sorted each other.

Bat/Cat, Pen/Hen, Hop/Mop, can your child recognize that these words rhyme?  We played the rhyming game today and the orange team won!  Way to go orange team!!

Can you spell compliment?  Ask your child how we are going to spell compliment.  What does that exactly mean?

Colors

Have you ever met Zero Hero?  Well we did today!  He comes to visit every 10 days.  We did the Zero Hero Rumba and we even did the "Time to make a bundle" dance!

Do you know the color red?  Your child is very excited to share with you his/her red book and even yellow.  We are starting to read and we are so excited!!  Please take the time to read the color books with your child.

We have also been exploring our shapes!  Do you know what a rhombus is?  How about a rectangle?  We were able to sort our pattern blocks today!

Parent Night

Hopefully I will see you tonight at our parent night at 6:30 p.m.  I know the children are very excited to have you in their room.  We had picture day today.  We were unable to visit the library due to picture day, but next week we will be able to check out a book. We will also have computer lab on Tuesday at 1:00-1:45, so if you are looking to help out...we could use your help!!
