The letter for the week is 'U'. This is another hard working letter because it makes two sounds. It has a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound. The short vowel sound is the sound we hear in Zoo Phonics... /u/ as in umbrella. The long vowel sound says its own name, as in unicorn. Remember that Show and Tell is on Friday and students can bring in something that starts with the /u/ sound. Have fun!!
One thing we forgot to mention in our Notes for February was that we have skating on Wednesday, February 9th. We will also send a notice home as a reminder. Students must have skates and a helmet in order to participate. They can't go on the ice otherwise.
