Week of October 15,2012
Dear Parents,
Mrs. Nicole Dutton, the teaching
assistant for TYKE, will be gone for the next 3 weeks. Mrs. Mary Jenkins, who
worked with TYKE students for many years, will be filling in for Nicole. We
wish Mrs. Dutton a speedy recovery.
Religion:
We will be talking about the “Good Samaritan.”
Math:
We will be talking about graphs.
Animal
of the Week: Eagle
SRA Reading: We will introduce
predecodable #3. “Three Billy Goats Gruff” will be our folktale. We will be
introducing the letters Aa and Bb. If your child is unable to recognize the
letters of the alphabet, I suggest you make or buy flashcards showing the
uppercase letter on one side and the lower case letter on the other. This way
they can learn to recognize them out of sequence and without the capital letter
next to it.
We will be participating in “Jump Rope
for Heart” with the rest of the student body. Please read the principal’s
online newsletter for more information on this event.
Information on the school auction will
also be in her newsletter. It is a great school event, and a wonderful way to
meet other parents. When you purchase
your tickets, mention you are a TYKE parent and they will usually seat you at a
table with other parents from our class.
Have a great week!
