Encouraging Phonics*Last week we worked very hard on the

sound /ch/. The students had to

brainstorm a list of words containing the

/ch/ sound. Then they made paper

chains of all the /ch/ words they could

read. Have your child list the words

with /ch/ in them, or point out any /ch/

words they may use while speaking. The

more they see the sound being used the

more comfortable it will become.* This week we are introducing the

bossy r, and the rlikes to look behind

him to see what vowel he can boss

around. This week he is bossing around

the letter a. So when the children see

/ar/ together the bossy /r/ makes a say

r. Have children look through booksor magazines to find the /ar/ words. You

can also have your child list /ar/ rhyming

words. With small little reminders the

students can see that the letter soundsthey are learning are a part of their

everyday lives.

*Adopt-a-manatee*

Thank you to all the parents that helped with our bake

sale by sending items in or volunteering to sell items

before and after school. We are well on our way to

adopting a manatee and taking a field trip to

Homosassa Springs State Park to visit the manatee.

would like to have one more week of selling items. I

would like to sell carnations with heart notes on themthe week before Valentines day (Feb. 7-11

th). We

are in need of carnations as well as volunteers to sell

before and after school. This cannot be done withou

your participation. Remember, all money made wil

go to adopt a manatee, and the remainder will offset

the cost of the fieldtrip. Thank you all for your

participation!!
