Room 15, Ms. Margaret

*Please have your child choose 1 item that begins with the letter of the week and bring it in on Thursday or Friday.  They need to have 2-3 clues and the item brought in a non-see through bag.

This week we focused on the letter Ii.   This was the first vowel we worked on.  We talked about how Ii makes a short and long sound.  Please review this with your child at home.  We review each letter in class, but the more review they do, the quicker they will retain the information.    For letter Ii, we made ice cream cones with our foot and handprints, ice cream patterns, and counted and glued the correct number of scoops onto the ice cream cone.  We also played with insects in ice and ispyed insects.  
I have sent out the link for the pumpkin patch survey.  We will attend Faulkner's Pumpkin Patch on Oct. 2 & 3.  Please make sure you fill out the survey and turn in your money if you plan on attending the field trip by Sept. 28.  If you are not signed up and paid by the 28th, you will not be able to attend the field trip with your child.  In addition to the survey, please let me know if you will be attending.  
Next week we will work on the letter Cc and do a few activities on apples.

Our letter next week will be letter Cc.


As always, if you have questions please feel free to send me an email.
