First of all, a big THANK YOU to those of you who came out to Parent-Teacher interviews. I truly appreciate the time you take on your child's behalf.

We are coming near to the end of our Jolly Phonics sounds. This week we will learn "qu" (as in quack), "oi" (as in noise), "ou" (as in sound), and "ue" (as in rescue).

New words for the word wall are "be" and "was". There will also be a sheet coming in with homework that contains all of the sight words up until Christmas for you to practice with your child.

This week is Anit-bullying week, and there will be activities all week long to help children identify bullying and avoid it - culminating on Friday with a school-wide photo of everyone in their pink tshirts, which they will receive on Friday morning to wear for the day (and keep).
