Dear Families,

Happy Friday; I hope no one suffers from triskaidekaphobia!! 
I hope you enjoy your weekends and get some planting time in :)
Please continue to practice your child's lines with them.

Here are our plans for the coming week:

Our theme this upcoming week will be "Changes In and Around Me" and the word of the week will be "mature ."  We will be working on digraphs and blends for the remainder of the school year, and this week we will look at the digraph "wh," both  its sound and formation.

Big Idea:
Monday - Change can be fun!
Tuesday- When something ends, something new begins.
Wednesday - We can exchange one thing for another.
Thursday - A transformation changes something.
Friday - Animals and people change as they grow.

Phonemic Awareness:
Monday - Friday - rhyming, end and middle sounds

Stories:
Monday - Christina and the Frog
Tuesday - The Gift
Wednesday - The Frog Prince
Thursday - The Ugly Duckling
Friday - A Chance for Esperanza

Literacy:
Monday - Discuss how we change.
Tuesday - Discuss what the Big Idea for today means.
Wednesday - Discuss what we can exchange.
Thursday - Explore transformation as a change in the whole.
Friday - Discuss what changes as we grow.

Here's to a marvelous May!!❤️

May God continue to bless all of you, and, as always, should you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.  

Warmly,

HOUSEKEEPING:  THE TEACHERS HAVE ASKED THAT THE CHILDREN LINE UP AND QUIETLY TALK ON LINE IN THE MORNING INSTEAD OF RUNNING AROUND THE YARD, AS THE MAIN SCHOOL BEGINS AT 8:15 am AND IT IS VERY DISTRACTING FOR THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS  ALIKE

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR COOPERATION :)
