Find the Dog’s Bone – On this game, students use a 100’s chart to find the hidden bone. Students work on understanding numbers and number relationships with this game.

Short Vowel Song – This song goes over the sounds made by the short vowels.
Announcements & Reminders:
– The community service club is collecting new and gently used toys for charity. Please send in toys to donate. This is a great time to talk about charity and how it connects to Muslim Holidays (one of our Social Studies topics).
– Please continue working with your children on tying their shoes. This is an important self help skill that also aids in fine motor skill development.
– If you are planning extended vacations surrounding the holiday break, please let me know ASAP. I WILL be sending home a homework packet for the holiday, and would like every child to receive it.
