Countdown to Christmas

This week we are presenting our Elementary Conncert on Wednesday, December 9th at 1:00 pm. Come and share in songs of the season with us. You may send clothes for your child to change into, or you may come help them change at lunch time. Lunch will be in the classroom on Wednesday, and the cafeteria will not be serving lunch that day, as the room will be set up with chairs for the audience. I look forward to seeing you all there!

New sight words this week are are and all.

We have learned almost all of the sounds in the Jolly Phonics program - the ones for this week are ay, ea, igh - y, and ow - oa. (long vowel sounds for a, e, i, and o).
