December 8^th- December 12^th, 2014

Focus of the Week ·      Literacy: (new theme- pirates!) word patterns, segmenting sounds in words ·      Graphics Practice: lowercase letter formation ·      Math: teen numbers, more/less Notes/Reminders ·      Parent Teacher Conferences: We will have 11:15 Early Releases on 12/9 and 12/17 for afternoon conferences and a set of night conferences on 12/11. ·      Our class will visit the Book Fair during our library time next week (Thursday at 12:55). This is a fundraiser for the school and a chance for students to purchase a book if they would like to (no obligation). If you would like to send your child with money, many books are around $5 (some are up to $20). A flyer about the book fair went home on Wednesday, or feel free to e-mail me with questions!

Class Pet Pete the Pig is excited to spend this weekend with Maia! Please help your child document Pete’s weekend through photos and/or drawings and words in his journal. Thanks! Getting ready for Winter      As winter approaches please think about helping your child learn to dress for recess independently. We are here to help, but 21 kids= 42 boots and 42 mittens! The more quickly we can get ready, the more time we will have to play outside!           We will go out to play unless it is extremely cold, so please send your child with hats/gloves and boots/snowpants if it is snowy! Conversation Starters        What words can you build with the word pattern _ing?                How do we use the iPad app Farmyard during math?
