October 1 - October 5

We have finished up our Ocean theme and will begin talking about fams next week.  This week we are continuing to learn a little bit about the Dominican Republic.  The students learned a jump rope song that you should be able to view from the school website.  We have made traditional Dominican Republic carnival masks and learned a little about some people that are from this country.
Sight words this week are like and see.  Next week the sight words will be look and that.
Word family this week is -ag (bag, tag, rag, sag)
We have started the alphabet over again.  We are now looking for better writing where the students are writing the letters correctly on the lines.
Make sure you are reading to your child each night.
book reports will go home on Friday and will be due next Friday.
