Today we finished our week of learning the letter “O” with a visit from our school’s Occupational Therapist. Our class really enjoyed learning what an Occupational Therapist does! Next week in Phonics we will be learning the letter “Gg” and its sound as in goat, golf, and good.
In Reading we will start a new story, Fix It Duck. Watch for the Family Times to come home on Monday to see what we'll be learning for the week.

Please check your child’s folder daily and remove all “KEEP” items. It becomes difficult to handle the folders with too many papers inside (both for the students and teachers.)
Some students are having a very hard time cutting. Please save the coupons from the newspaper and have students practice cutting on the dotted line.
Just another reminder, Silly Bandz CANNOT be worn in our classroom. Too many students are taking them off and playing with them during class. Thank you!
Please continue to have your child practice buttons!
The school store is now open. Kindergarten students may shop on a Monday morning before they come to homeroom. School store is optional but students may shop any Monday morning for the entire school year.
