Here are a few things happening this week:   *  In Literacy, we are working on "ay" and "ai".  Each make the sound of /a/.  Students have learned that "ai" has the sound of /a/ in the middle of words, such as, train, pain, and gain and "ay' has the sound of /a/ at the end of words, such as, bay, Saturday, and spray.  There will be no Show and Tell since we are done with all the letters of the alphabet.   *  In Math, we are still working on Unit 4: Numbers to 10.   *  Just a reminder to have your child keep practicing sight words on a daily basis and read every night.  The more sight words they know, the better they will become with their reading.  By this time of year, students should know all the sight words that were sent home.       *  Go for 42 is still in full force.  If your child walks or runs at night, please let me know how far they have gone and I will give them a shoe tag.  Shoe tags are given out at 5 km, 10 km, 20 km, 25 km, 30 km and 40 km.
