Hello everyone. The website has been down for a few days so we are now happy that it is up and running. Here are a few things happening this week.

* We will be celebrating Family Literacy Day on Friday, January 27th by reading books together. The teachers may even put on a little show for the students in support of this.

Parents are welcome to come.
* Thursday is Movie Day in the gym.

I hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday season. Merry Christmas.

* We will be working on the letter Ee this week in Literacy. It's another hard working vowel because it has 2 sounds. It says /e/ as in effort and it also says it's own name, as in eat. So many things begin with this exciting letter...egg, elephant, excellent, extraordinary, eggplant, eels, and elk. Show and Tell will be on Friday so try to find something to bring in that has the /e/ sound.
* This will be our week of homework until after the Christmas break.
