 BEARY WELCOME FRIENDS

January 18, 2011

Dear Parents, 

Tuesday we will start Unit 4 “ The Wind” (see attached letter).    We continue to be working on oral blending. Students are learning individual letter sounds and oral blending activities will merge with regular phonics in a natural way.   We will investigate the initial and final sound of Ss in words. We will hear the story “Can you see the wind?” and “Gilberto and the wind”. Review sight words and recognizing all of the upper and lowercase letters from Aa-Zz.  I will begin to test these letters and words at the end of this month.   

Chapter 8 in Religion will talk about the students appreciating the family that God has given them and celebrate the love they share in their families.     We also continue to discuss the Touching Rule with Lesson 13 in our Touching Safety unit.  The children will identify what to do if someone breaks the Touching Rule (A bigger person should not touch your private body parts except to keep you clean and healthy.) 

In Math we are concentrating on counting, ordering and comparing numbers to 20.  

NOTICES AND REMINDERS:                           

 Brandon is our Special Person for this week.  

Wednesday is Library Day – any overdue books? 

Please remember to have your child donate monies for contributing to the Pennies for Peace service project to benefit the Central Asia Institute, which supports education in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.   

PLANNING AHEAD: Monday, Feb.14th we will be having our Valentine Party.  For this party the children will exchange valentines.  FOR EASE IN PASSING OUT THESE CARDS DO NOT ADDRESS THEM TO INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS.  Just have your child sign their cards.  Thanks for your help in planning this event.  You may bring these cards in at anytime before the event. 

Have a great week!
