Week of September 16-20, 2013

Hello room 4 families,
This week has been fabulous. The kids have been working so hard and getting lots accomplished!

Here's what we have coming up:

Tuesday, September 17, 5:30pm: Back-to-School Night. Please meet out on the main yard to hear from Mrs. Egan at 5:30. After that I will go over information for the year in Room 4.

Friday, September 27: Free dress day.

Friday, October 11: Free drees day for 1$. The money raised goes to help fund the 6th grade Sly Park trip. 

Tuesday, October 22: pumpkin patch field trip. We will be taking a school bus to Dave's Pumpkin Patch in West Sacramento. The cost for this trip is $5.50 per child. You can send this to school any time between now and October 18. If you would like to accompany us on this trip, you must have fingerprints on file with Tammy in our office. Please note it may take 30 days for paperwork to process, so it's best to get this done ASAP. You won't have to go through the process again as long as your kids are in the Sac City district. 

Language Arts:

This week we will work on letter formation of Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee.
Our first sight word will be introduced: the
We will also work on rhyming and listening for beginning, middle and ending sounds.
In writing we are working on autobiographies.

Math:
This week we begin our first chapter on sorting and classifying. The kids will take a quick pre-test and then begin working identifying objects that are the same and different and sorting by one or two attributes (shape, color, size, etc).

Carpooling: If you live in the Curtis Park area and are interested in setting up a carpool for 1pm dismissal, please email Lara Johnson at Lara@lanset.com
