One more week until fall break!

Ky Kids Day was a huge success.  Hopefully you little one came home talking about some of the neat things we learned and were able to do!  We read stories by Kentucky authors, learned about horses and folk music and got to paint a puzzle piece that will soon be a huge puzzle of Kentucky in the foyer of the school!  It was a great day!

This week we still start working on the long vowel sounds.  Our first letter to study is the long a.  For example: take, make, rake.  We will learn that the magic "e" at the end makes the "a" say it's name.  Here is our poem that helps us remember:

I hang around the end of words,
so silently I sneak.

But oh the magic I perform,
to make the long vowel speak!

I hang around the end of words
And I am not to blame.

Cause I just like to pinch the vowel
and make him say his name.

We will continue to work on addition in math this week.  One of the learning targets is to fluently add up to a sum of 10.  We will practice, practice, practice and hopefully start to learn our basic facts so that we know the answer quickly!


Also, don't forget... next week is fall break!  YAY!!!
Have a wonderful week!
