I am so proud of my classes for always working so hard and with lots of smiles and giggles. As we discussed what we are thankful for this week, I am especially thankful for the sweetest, most hard-working group of children. It is a blessing working with you and your children this year and I love coming to school every day to see their smiling faces!
It was SUCH a pleasure to meet with each of you this week to discuss your child’s progress. Thank you for taking time out of your day to meet with me!
Although we had a short week, it was packed with a lot of fun!
In Fundations, the children were introduced to 3 new letters: l-lamp-/l/, h-hat-/h/, and k-kite-/k/. This week, we focused on the final sound in words. I emphasized the last sound in several words and selected students to come get the standard sound card the ended with the last sound in the words. If they located the correct letter, they said the letter-keyword-sound and wrote the letter on the board following my verbalization.
The students also heard another Echo the Owl story titled "Baby Echo Flies." They really enjoyed it! Check it out below!

1. Fishing Station: the children used magnetic fishing rods to "catch" fish and read sight words written on them.
2. Building Station: the children used lincoln logs to create villages, huts, and buildings like the Pilgrims and Native Americans.
3. Turkey Hand Poem: the children traced and colored their hand to create a turkey.
If you are looking for enrichment activities over the break, I’ve included some favorite websites at the bottom of this blog; and there is of course RAZ-KIDS!!
Wishing you all a peaceful and relaxing Thanksgiving with good food, family and friends!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Nork
