"Living and Non-Living"
Our concept of study this week is based on distinguishing between living things and non-living things. Students will identify what determines if an item is living or non-living. They will use their skills to sort by various attributes items that represent both categories.
This week we will investigate how the letters "A" and "V" are formed. We will identify their distinctive sounds. Practice helping your child create a list of items that begin with these letters.
Looking forward to...

Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
