During the month of October our chapel offerings will be used to purchase a plaque and butterfly bushes to honor the memory of Emilie Jo Franke. Any remaining funds will be donated in her honor to the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts.

This month is also SOCKTOBER. We are collecting NEW socks of any size to donate to area clothing banks. Thank you in advance to all who donate.

Week of October 5th:

Jesus Time: Passover/10 Commandmants. Please review these stories at home with your child.

We will finish up memory work by reviewing the entire Lord's Prayer.

Language Arts: 

1. Phonics: T, t.
2. Handwriting: T, t
3. Pre-Decodable: Shapes
4. Reader: nothing this week
5. Reading Comprehension: We are discussing how readers recall information that they have read. You can practice this by reading a story together and then recalling details by asking your child questions about the story.
6. Writing: This week we will continue to learn about nouns. You can help your child identify person, place, or things while doing pretty much any activity. This can be fun in a car ride or at the store as well! We will continue noun work until fall break.

Math: Our focus this week is still comparing numbers 0-10. We are working on greater than, less than, and equal.

Science: We will finish up extreme weather and have some fun extra topics: fire safety and pumpkins.

Please continue to practice the skills we are focusing on each week at home with your child. Practice makes perfect. 

I will keep a growing list of our red words here. These are words that do not follow typical letter sounds and will need to be memorized. We practice frequently in class, but I encourage you to practice these words daily at home to encourage fluency. Making flash cards is a good system to practice this skill.
