Week of December 3, 2012

Dear Parents,

SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PLAY: The TYKE children will be participating in the school play on Thursday evening, December 20. Please read the principal’s online newsletter to find out more details. Have your children practice the words to “Away In A Manger,” which I sent home last week.

Overview of this week:

        Religion: We will continue to talk about Advent and the Nativity.

        Animal of the Week: Kangaroo

        Math: Sorting , classifying and sequencing

SRA READING: We will be moving at a fast pace as we start Unit 5. We will finish up introduction of the alphabet and begin the phonics part of our program. The first sound we will introduce is the sound of Ss (sizzling sausages).  As we learn new sounds your child will be asked to tell us the beginning letter of different words. This activity should be reinforced at home. We will also introduce the next High Frequency Word,____is. Please have your child practice reading their 6 sight words, and talk about the sounds of the letters  we learn in class. We will be blending 3 and 2 syllable words.

Scholastic book order deadline is on this Friday, December 7th. 

Friday is a full day of school. 

Have a great week!
