APRIL 21- 25 Homework

This week we have a special homework to work on all the zoo phonics.

During class the kids will receive a packet with the zoo phonics cards that can be used at home.

These will not be required to be turned in - mainly just for your benefit at home.

Also - the kids will receive an envelope. Please help your child write their address onto the envelope and place a stamp on it.

During our Mail Person (community Helpers center) the kids will be able to mail a letter to themselves.

Hard Working Vowels

APRIL 21-25

This week we are beginning our unit on "Hard Working Vowels". Because the vowels are always working over time we have a special unit just tofocus our studies on them.

A fun song to help your kids to remember the vowels is:

(Sing to the tune of B-I-N-G-O)

Every Word has a vowel

and these are the hard workers -

A E I O U

A E I O U

A E I O U

and these are the hard workers.

(sing again only use the sounds rather than the letter name)
