Lion News Week of Dec.3rd - 7th

Dear Parents, Hi, this is Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Wells wanted me to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers while she is away. She is having surgery on Wednesday morning. When she fell, the bones in her wrist broke away from her hand. She is going to have a plate put in to reconnect them. While she is out, Mrs. Trent and I will be working with Mrs. Bamonte and Mrs. Nicodemus to make sure everyone remains on track. If your child would like to make Mrs. Wells a card, Mrs. Trent and I will make sure she gets them. Just send them in, and give to Mrs. Wells’ sub. Thank you. This week in Reading Street we studied the book, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, and we reviewed the sight words: “he” and “for”. Please continue to work with your child on the following sight words: “we, my, like”, “have”, “is”, ”to”, “a”, “the”, “little”, “I”, and “am”. Please also work with your child on recognizing all 26 letters, sounds of the alphabet, writing the letter correctly, counting to 100 by 1’s, and counting up to 20 objects (toys, etc...). We will begin 2nd quarter Report Card testing in January when we return from Winter Break. In Go Math we started Chapter 5, Addition! Reminder: Santa Workshop: It is that time of the year again. Our PTA is offering students a chance to go shopping for gifts for their family members. If you would like your child to participate, please have them bring in money on the day our class attends. Santa shop envelopes will be coming home today. Please make sure you have your child’s first and last name on them.
