News for week of November 19th-

Though it was a short week, we had so many projects to do! We were very busy getting ready for Grandparents/Special Friend’s Day. The kids wanted to make something special and make yummy treats for our special visitors. They took so much pride in their efforts it was great to see.
Our feast was a great treat! Of course the spice cake was a favorite, but we did have lots of kids who were what we call “Brave Tasters” and they tried new things like vegetable soup and broccoli. They loved singing for our visitors and showing them around the room too.
You’ll see some new things coming home this week. We’re going to really start working on “word families”. These are the ending parts of words, you change the beginning sounds to create new words, but they all end in the same “family”. Our letter for the upcoming week is “Nn”. We’re also going to start working on verbs which I will refer to as “action words” they tell what is going on. We’ll be working on syllable recognition also.
Lots of learning to get to before the end of the semester, and lots of Hanukkah fun coming also! We want to create a special ABC scrapbook and need your help…please send any catalogs or “kid friendly” magazines to cut and tear. Thanks
