WOW!  Only a month left until Christmas and we made it through the first round of parent/teacher interviews.  Thank you to everyone who came.  Here are few things happening this week:   *In Literacy this week, we will be working on the letter E e.  Exciting isn’t it?  This letter is a hard working vowel because it has two sounds; short /e/ can be found in words such as elephant, exercise, excellent and Ellie.  The long /e/ says its own name and can be found in words such as enormous, each, eagle, eel, and equal.  Show and Tell will be on Friday so have fun searching for something that starts with the letter E e.     *In Math we are still working on the numbers 1 to 5 and working on different combinations of each.     *Scholastic Book Orders will be going home this week and will be due back on Dec. 5th.  If there is anything that you want to order for your child for Christmas as a present, please send me a little note with the book order and I will keep the order aside for pick up or delivery in a thick envelop.  Books make a wonderful Christmas present!
