"M"agnificent "M" Week - Homework begins this Week!

Week of January 9-12
Sound of the Week - M
Book of the Week - Owl Moon - by Jane Yolen
Habit of the Month - Self Control (different than post last week)
Mom of the Month - Melinda Colcord

This will be our first week of nightly HOMEWORK.  The students seem excited!  Each night your child will bring home a page or activity to be completed at home.  The first few weeks your child might need guidance, but most of the pages or activities have been done many times in class.  Yes, they should color and complete...always putting forth their best effort.  Please text me if you have any questions. 

Also, I told the students last week that each day the Super Server may bring in something for Show-n-Tell (this is new also).  Our Super Servers this week are...Monday - Joshua, Tuesday - Iris, Wednesday - Hughes, and Thursday - Jacob.  If possible, it would be great if they could bring something that begins with the Letter of the Week (this week M).  If they just MUST share something that doesn't begin with Letter of the Week, that if fine too! 

Please pray for our class this week as we now move on to many reading readiness activities.  We will create our first Word LIst book, create a book using "m" as ending sound, and talk about short a. We will introduce "sight" words as well.   It is a big week academically for these little ones.  They are ready and EXCITED!
