October 10-15

Bookrings and Shoeboxes
Your child brought home a decorated shoebox on Friday. Please use this as their special library to add books to when we complete a reading unit. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOOKS FROM THE BOOKRING. I will send home books with a rubber band if they are to be kept in the shoebox. Continue to read the books on the bookring nightly. This week we are getting two books each day. You will notice the reading difficulty increasing.
Practice the list of sight words with your child. These are very important to increase their fluency rate.

Pictures
Individual pictures will be taken on Thursday, October 14th. If you plan on purchasing them, please make sure your money is turned in to my by then. Send your child to school with clean clothes, combed hair and washed faces. We want these to be the greatest! (we use them for gifts for you!)

Book Read Reading Program
October is the kick off for the Pizza Hut Book It program. I am late at sending home a calendar, but please note the days you are able to listen to your child read and/or read to them. Mark the days and return the calendar at the end of the month for a free personal pan pizza. You do not need to keep track of the minutes.

How do you get to Grandmas house?
Please help your child cut out a picture from a magazine or newspaper to how they get to grandma's house, you can send two different photos to show the ways to get to each grandma. We will be reading the story and learning about Transportation in the upcoming weeks.

Parent Helpers
If you asked to help in the classroom and I have not contacted you, I appologize. My evenings have been very busy lately. Please drop me an email or call to remind me that you are wanting to help out in the classroom. I will gladly give you a day to volunteer. I have many needs and children who could use some additional help. Your time is always welcome.
