Report cards will be sent home Monday.  The children have all done very well!  I am so proud of their accomplishments.  They have settled into our school very nicely.  Way to go KH!  Parents are asked to return their Parent Teacher Interview slips and the brown report card envelope (signed and dated) to the school on Tuesday.

We have been working on putting words together and taking them apart. These skills are very helpful to the children when they are reading and writing.  It can be something that you practice at home and have fun with.  For instance to practice blending words you may play object hunt.  You can tell them to go get the c-a-t (saying the sounds seperately).  They need to blend the word together and realize it is the cat that you want.  Now it is their turn - so they have to segment a word or take it apart in order to give you an instruction.  They may say "Bring me a d-i-sh."  **It is important to begin these activities with words that only have 2-3 sounds in them and as they get stronger at them then try 4 sounds.  Have fun!

The sight words that we have learned so far are: am, a, and, big, be, Dad, go, here, he, I, is, in, little, Mom, my, me, on, see, she, the, we, look, at   Please continue to review these with your child each night. They should practice both reading and spelling these words.  I will be sending home activities each week that include sheets and games.  In addition to these you can have them write them in sand, flour, shaving creme, pudding etc. They could make words with play doh or wikki sticks.  You can also make up some fun games like "I Spy" where you print the words on a page and take turns "spying" a word. For instance you say "I spy the word am." Then your child points to it and spells it. Then it is their turn to spy a word.

We had some special visitors today! The fire marshall and a local fire fighter came and gave a fantastic presentation about fire safety. They had a model home that they were able to use to demonstrate some fire hazards as well as some things to do in case of a fire. Please talk to your child about...

Great links to reinforce letters, sounds and rhyme!

Check out the many websites that have lots of great games and activities to reinforce letters, sounds and rhyming. Playing even one game a night would be a great help to your child!
