Thankful Thursday!

Hello!  What a great day!  Your child came ready to learn and have fun!  We had reading groups again today where we worked on the sight words "I can" and practiced our letters, sounds and writing our letters the way the first grade teachers want them written.  We loved learning about our Happy Campers of the day, they were Heidi and Olivia!  For math we worked on things that go together, like a basket ball and a hoop, or ski poles and skis, a football and a helmet, etc.  Also, today we learned the letters K and L and the sounds they make.  

Remember tomorrow is PICTURE DAY!  So if you have not turned in your picture packet, please remember to do so tomorrow!  Also, this is our specialist day, so please make sure you send your little peanut in shoes they are able to run in for PE! :) 

Today was our first book exchange, and it went very well!  Please remember that to move to another book your child should have read this book many times and should be able to point to every word as they read every word independently on each page.  When you feel your child is ready to move to another book, send a sticky note or note in their book envelope telling me and my wonderful parent helpers that they are ready for a new book.  **Today there were not that many sticky notes in envelopes, so if your child is ready for a new book you may send it in tomorrow with a sticky note and I will exchange it. :) 

Reminders:

Tomorrow the Homework folders are due, please make sure your child's homework is in there too!  :)

Cookie Dough Orders are due!

Specialist are tomorrow!

Happy Trails!  

Love, 

~Mrs. Wittwer
