HIGHLIGHTS
This week, we are reviewing the numbers 1-10. The letters are V, Z, F, L & M with their sounds. We are talking about bats this week. Our vocabulary words this week are: bats, echolocation, fruit bat, bumblebee bat, and vampire bat. Encourage your child to use these words in a sentence this week. Also, your child should be able to tell you about these words.
We are decorating a pumpkin, into a frog, for the Fall Carnival. It will be auctioned off and the proceeds go back to our classroom for things we may need. We will be working hard on our pumpkin frog, so we hope you get ready to bid on it for us. Also, we need snacks. We are running low and it would be a bad thing. I’m afraid the kids might see me as something tasty.
