Today we learned about the letter S. We read  the book Silly Sally by Audrey Wood and sang "Shake My Sillies Out!" with Raffi. We made our mouth go "SSSS" while we moved our arm like Sammy Snake. We helped Sammy Snake fill his sock on the Smartboard too. Ask your child which word they said to earn their Smartie and where Sillly Sally was going. Ssssooo much fun! Don't forget the Starfall site has more fun for each letter.

And so begins the long school career - homework starts for kindergarten this week! Although some children have requested extensive assignments the first week will break them in easily with parent read alouds!

Thank you very much for the prompt return of the numerous magazine forms and book orders sent out recently. We have earned free books and magazine subscriptions for our class. This will improve the selection your child brings home nightly so we can all be happy!
