Welcome to another new week. Here are a few things to remember this week:
* We will be working with the letter Oo this week. O is a very hard working vowel because, like all other vowels, it has two sounds. The short Oo sound is our Zoo Phonics sounds and can be found in words like Ollie, octapus, otter, and other. The long Oo sound says its own name and can be found in words like open, ocean, oval, opal, over, and old. Have lots of fun searching for something that has the short or long /o/ sound. We will have Show and Tell on Friday.
* This week in Math we will be making some 3D shapes. It's going to be fun!
* Our class is going snowshoeing Monday morning from 8:30-9:30 for Phys. Ed., so I ask that each child have his/her snowpants, boots, a hat, and mitts.

Hello everyone and welcome back to our site. It has been a while now that we were not able to post anything or keep you up-to-date on things happening in the classroom, but I promise, I will do my best to get you all updated over the next couple of days. Here are a few things to remember for this week.
* Our letter of the week is Gg. This is a letter that has two sounds. The hard sound of Gg starts with words like gorilla, grape, gorgeous, and gum. The soft sound of Gg starts with words like giraffe, ginger, gentle, gym, and giant. Show and Tell will be on Friday so have fun finding something that has the /g/ sound.
* We are still working on Exploring Geometry and Measurement in Math class. So far, we learned about the 3D shapes cube, cylinder, sphere, rectangular prism, cone, and pyramid. We sorted these and even got to build with them. Soon, we will get to make some.
* Middle Island Clusters begins this Friday, Feb. 3. All students have been put into a group and for an hour each week, they will learn more about the cluster they chose and how it relates to Middle Island.
