A short week...

 Last week was a difficult week for my family and I would like to take the time to thank all of you for your kind words and support. My husband's accident was a terrible event but we are very happy that all of his injuries will heal. It will be a long recovery-especially for an active person like my husband-but eventually we are hoping for him to be back to 100%! Over the next few weeks I may have to take off to accompany him to doctor appointments, but I will make every attempt to schedule them so they do not interefer with the school day. Thanks again for your understanding, I feel lucky for so many reasons!

Since this is a short week, the K team has decided to focus our lessons on catching up and reviewing!!!! Kindergarten is so busy that every so often we like to take the chance to assess the student's learning, reteach, practice skills, and spend some time catching up on things. We will continue talking about the letters S and M as well as discuss the fall season. Students will be introduced to our next popcorn word and work on all our Daily 5 activities. We also will review our jolly phonics sounds and motions. We have learned most of the jolly phonics program, so now we start to practice blending the sounds together, as we read and write words. In math, we will practice reading and writing numbers, as well as play some of the games we have learned so far this year.

Next week we will introduce the letter R. More details about that next week!
