This week:

We are having a GREAT week! We have begun our curriculum!! We are starting with our vowels and will begin with I, i as in "inchworm" and "iguana". Each letter has a picture with it that helps us remember the sound it makes. We will learn the letter's sound and the correct way to write it. Please refer to the manuscript guide I gave you at Open House. This sheet will help you when practicing at home. Along with learning a new letter each week, we will learn a number. We will learn how to write it and to recognize it. We started with number 1 this week. Please begin making flashcards with letters and numbers on them so you can practice at home. Practice makes perfect!!
We are also working on writing our names. Some are still having some trouble, but we are working on it!! Please practice this at home! I have lots of handwriting paper if you would like me to send some home to practice on. We are learning about each line on the handwriting paper and where the letters should be on them, so this takes a while for some to get.
Our unit this week is "All About Me". Please send the pictures I asked for on Friday if you haven't already. We will begin sharing these with the class and make a cute project with them. We are also making a cute booklet!

Thank you to those who wore PINK yesterday. We had someone from the newspaper come take our picture, so be on the lookout. Please pray for Mrs. Jo's family! Mrs. Baggett asked if everyone wanted to, please send $1 in her memory. We will pool the money together and make a donation from PLAS to the First Baptist Church Preschool, which was her wish.

Please send in ALL the forms that were given to you at Open House and the ones that were in the Student Handbook, including the one that had to be notarized. I still have some that have not turned them all in.

I have only had 3 parents to sign up for the group text. Please do this if you can. It is a great way for me to send quick reminders throughout the school year!
