Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a chance to spend a little more times with your kids over their fall break. And please continue to use the homework bags and do some academic work. A week is a long time for these little kiddos to be away from school and learning! Please help in retaining what they've learned. Can't wait to hear about all their Halloween costumes! Feel free to email me pictures if you want!

Oct. 18-22
Tough Husker game to watch this weekend, huh? Oh well! On to the next game, I guess!
Reminder
Tuesday is an early out day. The kids will be dismissed at 2:18!
Literacy
This week's letter is the letter Bb. Our alphafriend is Benny Bear, so please talk to your child about words that start with that sound. And don't forget about the previous letters they should have mastered: m,r,s, and t!
In writing we will be finishing up our first unit and 'publishing' a piece of writing to put on display.
Math
We will be finishing up our numbers 0-5 chapter this week by doing some fun activities and counting games. Be counting with your kids whenever the chance comes up, and you don't have to limit them to only 5....see how high they can go! Beyond counting, however, they need to be able to recognize the numbers also, so point out numbers when you see them around town!
Have a great week!

October 4-8
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend with no Husker game! It's crazy that we have two weekends in a row without one! Here's what happening this week in our classroom!
Literacy
We are learning about the letter Rr. Our alphafriend is Reggie Rooster. Be talking to you child about words that start with the letter Rr. Have them look through a book or magazine and find that letter or a picture of something that starts with that letter.
In writing we will continue to talk about labeling our pictures with letters and words. We will talk about how to turtle talk (say slowly) a word out. Towards the end of the week we will talk about writing words on the lines at the bottom of the paper!
Math
In math we will be talking about numbers this week. Today we talked about eh number 0. We talked about what zero means. Here's what the kids came up with:
no names
no more
nothing
gone
time is up
everybody's out
no food
not there
I was really impressed with their knowledge of the number zero. We will be talking about 1-4 the rest of the week, so be talking with your child about what those numbers mean to them! We will also be writing and counting those numbers.
Other
There will be a conference reminder note coming home with your child today in their blue folder. Please make sure you can still come at that time. If you have a problem please contact me ASAP!
