*  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.   *  Our Christmas Concert will be on Thursday, Dec. 15, beginning at 9:00.  Our students worked very hard on their performances and are very excited to perform for you.  Hope you will be able to make it.       *  The Christmas Dinner is on Friday, Dec. 16th.  Turkey and all the trimmings will be served.   *  All Library books must be returned this week.
