Here are a few things happening this week:   *In Literacy, we will be working with the letter S s.  So many things begin with this sensational letter, such as, Sammy, snake, sneaker, shoe, school, sunshine, shoulder, sweater, shirt, and shovel.  Show and Tell will be on Wednesday this week so have fun searching for something that begins with the /s/ sound.   *In Math, we are still working on patterns.     *It is Fire Prevention Week this week.  Some local firefighters will be in to visit the school on Tuesday and teach us some fire safety tips.        *The October Scholastic Book Orders will also be sent home this week.  Orders will be due on October 16th.       *There is NO SCHOOL on Thursday, October 9th and Friday, October 10th due to Professional Learning Days for teachers.  There is also NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 13th because of Thanksgiving.     *School Photos are due back on October 14th.  If you wish your child to get retakes, please send in his/her envelope and mark ‘retakes’ on it.  Photo retakes will be on Friday, October 17th.
