This week instead of focusing on a new letter, the students will be learning phonograms: -at, an, and -am. They will use what they have learned about rhyming and letter sounds to help them blend sounds together to create words.

Our sight word for the week is to.

Vocabulary words are: sly, proceed, apparel, announced, imaginary and precisely.

In math we will be finishing up our chapter with numbers 0-10. The students are learning how to write their numbers (and letters!) correctly. In class we've been practicing starting at the "sky", going through the "fence", and ending at the "ground". When you practice writing at home, please reinforce this skill!

The book fair is going on in the Media center. Stop in and check out all the new books! The class will have the chance to fill out a wish list.

Friday is Grandfriend's Day at Shirley Hills. If your child is going home with their Grandfriend on Friday, please make sure that you have filled out the form and have sent it back on Monday, November 1^st.
