My apologies for the newsletter not making it up last week! I noticed in the folders that everyone is keeping up with their October calendars and the homework being sent home! That support is great and establishes an understanding for students that these ideas are important at school as well as home.
Below you will find our newsletter for this upcoming week, it came home in the folders today along with some important flyers! I look forward to seeing families today and Thursday for conferences!

This week our focus in phonics is stretching words out s-l-o-w-l-y to hear all of the sounds in the word.
Below is our "Snake" symbol for stretching out words. While you practice stretching words out with your students talk about the letter that would go in each box (for example, "C-A-T"). This representation works best for CVC words (consonant vowel consonant).
Enjoy practicing! It is amazing to think that students are mastering this foundational writing skill! They will be off and running to stories in no time.
