How do you feel Joy?

Students brought home a Home Reading folder today. Ms. G's class has blue and Mrs. Nelson's class has red. Please read with your child each night and encourage them to find words in the book. Having a positive experience reading books will be the foundation block for great readers. Once your child is finished the book, please sign the form in the folder and return the book and folder to school. This should be occurring daily. Thank you so much!

This afternoon we continued our discussion about how we feel Joy. We wrote 2 sentences in our journals.

       Joyful is __________.

We had many great answers. It was lovely to see your children coming up with so many wonderful ways to show Joy! Keep up the great work.

Joyful is:
happy
music
my family
food
laughing

Our new letter today for phonics is Ll. We listened to a story for the sound that kept repeating itself and then we practiced the sounds with the actions and sang the song. Ask me what the action and sound is for this letter. The letters are listed below to practice at home too. Some activities we could do together are:
-practice the sound with the action
-practice printing the letters
-build words using only the letters we've done so far

                         ---Ss, As, Tt, Ii, Pp, Nn, Cc, Kk, Ee, Hh, Rr, Mm, Dd, Gg, Oo, Uu, Ll---

Thank you to all students who returned their Library books today. Please help your child remember to return their book every Monday. Sometimes we forget and that's ok, please return it by Tuesday so we can ensure they are checked in and we are able to take out another book from the Library.

A student's mom brought in a healthy snack for us today. We were able to enjoy pineapple, cantelope, honey dew, grapes and watermelon. Mmmm so delicious!!!
