Hi Moms and Dads, Your child is very special to me.  During our conference it was a blessing to be able to talk with each of you about your child's progress.   Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have a concern at any time. It is vital that you continue to read to or listen to your child read each night.  This reinforces the importance of developing good reading skills.   October  31st - November 4th Language Arts: *New Words - go, is  *High Frequency Words - to, a, I, like, my, see, and,          at word family, an word family *Phonics Focus - Gg *Blending short a words*Rhyming Words  *Comprehension Skills - Story structure - beginning, middle, end Math: *Review number words,  more and fewer *Making shapes from other shapes *Same size, same shape Handwriting Skills: *Letter formation *Sentence building Bible : *God Speaks to Moses   Scripture: Exodus 1:1 - 2:15 *Target Truth - God's word is true Dates to Remember: *Veterans Day Holiday - Friday, November 11th *Thanksgiving Holidays - November 21st -25th *STARS OF THE WEEK:         Emma - October 31st - November 4th         Sarah Elizabeth - November 14th - 18th         Persson - November 28th - December 2nd.

Hi Moms and Dads, We have had a fabulous week. A highlight this week was McClain Brown joining our class.   The children have welcomed McClain with open arms.   Continue to read with your child each night.  The children's reading skills are really improving.  We continue to work on our listening skills and following directions.  The children work so well together.  They have learned to assist each other when one is in need of help.  They are putting the fruits of the spirit and the golden rule into action.  What a blessing!

Hi Moms and Dads, It was wonderful to be back in the classroom with my children this week.  Ben and I appreciated your prayers and support during my time away from the classroom.   On Friday your child brought home their book bag. Please listen to your child read each night.  The bags are to be returned by Friday of this week so that these books may be placed in their book boxes and new books may be sent home.  The children love to choose a book from their book box to read at the start of each school day.
