Have a great weekend!!

Thursday, December 6, will be our school Christmas play. There will be two performances that day.  The first performance will begin at 10:00 a.m. and the second one will start at 7:00 p.m.  We encourage all students to go home and rest after the morning performance and return that evening at 6:15 in the new gym classroom that's located to the left of the entrance of the gym.  Please be sure to dress your child in dressy Christmas themed attire for the performance.  

This week we began reading groups!!  It is very important that each day students bring back their books if they took it home for practice or homework.  If homework is assigned it will be written on your child's book and a signature is required to show it was completed.

This week we have been working on the "J" and "K" blends.

We also learned the "c / k" rule.  Because the letters "c" and "k" make the same sound there is a rule to teach the kids which letter to use at the beginning of these words either "c" or "k" 
The rule is:  "K" goes with "i" & "e"
                    "C" with the other three "a" "o" & "u"

In numbers we are counting up to 49

We also started telling time to the hour!
