Grandparent’s day is coming up on October 20. There will be information sent home soon.
Students have been learning to recognize the letters of the alphabet along with learning the sounds. Letter recognition is very important for students to know in order to learn sounds. One activity to help reinforce this at home or in the car is to have students look around for a certain letter in books, on TV, on billboards, etc. Also work with your child on writing the letter.
Just a reminder we do not have school Monday (October 17), Tuesday (October 18), Friday (October 21) and Monday (October 24).
