First week of October

Hello parents!
I hope everyone had a great review week! We reviewed the three sounds we've learned so far, number writing, and color words.

Next week we will continue with our letter books with the letter /A/.
Please go over the words that begins with /A/ at home as well as /C/, /O/, and /G/.
There are some students who are still struggling with the sounds that these letters make. Pretty soon, we are going to start blending the sounds together to read words. It is crucial that the students are reviewing the sounds of the letters DAILY.



In Fanahi's class, we are reviewing the sounds of the letters and journal writing. Please have your kids practice writing the alphabet in upper and lower case at home.

In Maria's class, we will start learning the life cycle of the pumpkin. Please talk to your kids are home about the pumpkin.

In Florita's class, we are still learning counting and writing numbers, graphs, counting tally marks, days of the week, and months of the year.






In everyone's class, we are getting ready for fall by doing various fun art projects such as making stain-glass pumpkins, fall leaves, and Halloween themed patterns for October.


We are beginning our new enrichment rotation next week.

  • Room. 5 will have Technology on Mondays, Dance on Tuesdays, P.E. on Wednesdays and Fridays, but no enrichment on Thursdays. 


  • Room. 6 will have Art on Mondays, Technology on Tuesdays, P.E. on Wednesdays and Fridays and Technology on Thursdays. 


  • Room. 7 will have Music on Mondays, no enrichment on Tuesdays, P.E. on Wednesdays and Fridays, no enrichment on Thursdays. 

In technology with Kirsten, we have been practicing writing the alphabet with the app called "Letter School". It is a highly recommended and highly rated app for learning the alphabet. The kids enjoy it very much, so if you have an ipad at home, you can check it out at the app store.

Thank you for your support,
Florita, Fanahi, and Maria :)
