PPS Halloween Parade

Thank you to all the parents who donated items and helped out at the PPS Halloween party/parade!  Without you, events such as these would not be possible!

Trick or Treat for Unicef

Students will be bringing home a box for Unicef.  Instructions are enclosed. Please send your box back to school so our school can collect the donations. Thank you!

Literacy

I have been working with small groups of students two to three days a week to work on specific skills geared towards their individual developmental level.  This has (for some groups), or will, naturally morph into reading groups in the upcoming month!  Students are extremely excited to be able to read words that pop up on the smart board during daily activities.  It gives me great pleasure to see the transformation from non-readers to readers in such a short amount of time!  Please continue to work on sight words, letter identification and letter sounds with your child to make this process more successful!

Words of the Week

In the spirit of Halloween, we like to have one silly sight word J

Math

This week we have been focusing on making partners to 5. We have been using many different techniques and games to get this concept understood.  A class favorite is 5 frame Go Fish! This is a simple game that could be done at home with index cards and dots on note cards (0-5).

Happy Halloween,
