Week of October 25

Mrs. Borden & Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (week of October 25)

Thursday’s Pajama Party was perfect. We had so much fun painting, playing with play dough and other “P” projects. We had popcorn, soft pretzels and pancakes!

Everyone did a great job walking to support our fellow classmates with diabetes on Make a Difference Day.

In Phonics we will work with the letter A as in apple and acorn. We will focus on the short sound but will talk about its long sound.

Dig Dig Digging will be our new Reading story. We will discuss how we live, work, and play together. We will also use the reading skill classify and categorize.

Readers and sight words are in clear sheet protectors in your child’s folder. Please practice each night, sign and keep them in the sheet protector. We also use these at school. We are so proud of the progress that we are seeing! Thanks for your support!

In Math we will describe the relative position of objects, identify, create and extend AB sound and movement patterns and sort a collection of objects.

Our Halloween party will take place on Friday, October 29th. Friends and family are invited to view the parade at 2:00 in the bus loop. Please send you child’s costume to school in a bag labeled with their name. They will get dressed here at school in the afternoon.

Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Our theme is I’m Drug Free. We will have a program Friday morning. We will show our support by wearing the following:

Monday – “Turn your back on Drugs” – wear shirts backwards

Tuesday – “Sock it to drugs day” wear crazy socks

Wednesday – “Put a cap on drugs day” – wear crazy hats

Thursday – Drugs will turn you inside out” – wear shirts inside out

Friday – “red spirit day” – wear red school spirit shirts

Monday will be day 2. We have Computers. Don’t forget your library book on Tuesday and sneakers on Thursday for Gym.
