Just a quick thank you to all the families that have given stuff to our classroom this month.
We have gotten dry erase markers, bells, cotton balls, hot chocolate, cups, gingerbread playdough, and Clorox wipes.

Thank you for your help and support!

**Idea of the week:
work with your child on reading and writing color words and number words.

December Information

Dear families,
Please make sure you or someone is reading to your child five nights a week, this will help with fluency as your child learns to read. After you finish reading make sure you have your child color in the picture on the reading calendar for that night. If your child has 15 nights colored in by the end of the month they will receive a free pizza from Pizza Hut for the Book It! program.

Items we can use for the classroom for this month:
· Large cotton balls
· Ribbon
· Large non-breakable ball ornaments
· Glitter
· Small bells
· Anything winter or Christmas
· Buttons
· Styrofoam cups
· Hot chocolate
· Spoons

This week the homework is to review the sight word flash cards. Please have your child write two sentences using words they know.
Every year parents and students are more than generous around the holidays and feel the need to give me something. While I appreciate the gifts, I would love things for the classroom that everyone can use. Some things the class could use

Eric Carle games
-ABC Game
-The Grouchy Ladybug Game
-Opposites

Mrs. A :)

Homework 8/29

Dear Families,

This is your child’s first homework assignment. Please have your child draw, cut out (ex. A picture from a magazine), or color three things that start with the letter Ss, as in “seal” or “sandwich,” in their homework notebook. In addition, your child needs to complete the handwriting worksheet for the assigned letter. Please make sure your child is forming their letters properly in the sequence labeled on the worksheet. This assignment, as well as future homework, is assigned on Friday and is due Monday morning.
The last bit of homework, the reading log found in the homework folder, will be the same every week. Please read, or have someone read, to your child for twenty minutes five out of seven nights a week. The reading log is given out on Friday and due the following Friday.
If homework is complete and turned in on time they will receive full credit. If the homework is not completed or turned in late they will only receive partial credit. If the homework is not turned in at all your child will lose Fun Friday, and they will complete their homework during that time.
If you need books to read with your child, you can check them out from the Telesis library, the Mohave Community Library, or you can purchase some from the Scholastic book orders. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at randreozzi@telesis-academy.org

Thank you very much,



Mrs. Andreozzi :)
