Sharing This Week:  Piglets

This week we have exciting news to announce.

I went shopping online!  Each child will select a crown and will strive to be the King or Queen/Prince or Princess of Manners!  All crowns will reside on our class bulletin board and as the children learn to consistently practice their good manners they will earn gems to stick on their crowns.  Here are the gem colors and behaviors the children will accomplish:
Red-Friendship and Kindness

Gold-Following the Three B's (Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful)

Pink-Listening and Working Quickly

Green-Playing Nicely on the Playground

Purple-Lunch Table Manners (including eating your lunch)

Silver-Using Polite Words (Please, Thank You, Excuse Me, You're Welcome)

Blue-Following the Carpet Time Manners

This week we will meet Ms. Y and her yodeling yawn.  Often children confuse the /y/ sound with /w/ sound due to the pronunciation of the name of the letter.  It is helpful to remind the children that /y/ has the sound that begins the word "yellow."

This week we will continue learning new sight words and expand our journal writing.

Remember this Friday is Spell Check!  Help your child to be successful by practicing at home nightly!

Other reminders for this week:

Monday-Science
Tuesday-Art
Wednesday-Speech and Language Class, P.E. (WEAR TENNIS SHOES!)
Thursday-Yoga (wear comfortable clothes)
Friday-Spell Check, Library, Homework due, Sharing Piglets, Dance (WEAR
          TENNIS SHOES!  Girls wear shorts or leggings under skirts or dresses
           wear hair in a pony tail-this is the dance teacher, Ms. Wall's request)

Thank you for all of your wonderful support!
Mrs. W.
