The kids in room 23 are really settling in and learning so much very quickly.  Many of the kids are reading and we have begun our work with sight words.  Since we spent so much time focusing letters and sounds the kids are beginning to apply this knowledge to sounding out words they read and write.  I appreciate all you support and working with your child at home.  

Please check the flash card section for the kindergarten sight words.  After winter break we will begin working with word families.  I will post PowerPoint presentations for you to view with your child in the files section. 

We met our second grade buddies and decided to make cards to send to the troops in Afghanistan .  It is one way we can show our appreciation to the soldiers.   Our first set of cards will be made November 25th, and mailed over Thanksgiving break.   The kids want to send cards for Christmas, Valentines Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter.   We would be grateful is someone would donate funds for postage.    

Thank you for sending in the items for the food panty.  Our food drive was a huge success! 

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving break.
