Friday News


Hello Families,
           This week we learned the letter P. When you say p, your lips start out together. Then they open and a puff of air comes out of your mouth.  Please ask your child if they know any words that start with P. We continued our study of I and See.
          Tuesday was picture day. I can’t wait to see all those smiles!!!
          Check out the orange paper for news about the pumpkin patch field trip on October 18th.
         Conferences are super important! Please make sure you return the conferences form ASAP! I will send home conference times soon!!!
          There are so many good things in your Friday Folder this week. Be sure to check out each page.
          Reading to your child is one of the best ways for your child to learn to read. Please take some time to read to your child every night.

Rhyming Word Families
A part of kindergarten is learning rhyming words! Learning to recognize rhyming patterns in language is a necessary skill for early readers. As students manipulate words and sounds to create simple rhymes, they become aware of word and letter patterns that will help them develop decoding skills. I have included some of the word families below. Please practice these with your child. This list is just a starting point.
