Ellie's Weekly Newsletter. 3 May 2014

How can it already be May??  But we have made it to the last few letter sounds of the alphabet!  This week we will concentrate on / u /,  or as we say in SLANT: /u/ as in umbrella.  Let's just hope we don't need to use those umbrellas everyday this week!

Actually, the five day forecast says Friday is a rain day, but it is also our PET DAY!  That means pets will be allowed, and welcomed to school on Friday.  Any leashed pets may visit school from 8:30-9:00 or 11:00-11:30.  If the weather brings no rain, we will meet pets in the playground at the 11:00 visiting time.  Small caged pets may stay at school all day, if their comfort allows that.  If you have no living, breathing pets at your house, please bring a non-breathing pet (aka, the stuffed kind!). ****Please let me know if your little one has pet allergies.

The week continues with other unique and unusual activities, medial u words will be studied: subtraction equations in math.

Moms, I hope you enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday!
