Newsletter for May 13, 2012

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers! I hope you were all treated especially well today:)

Next week's spelling words are: oil, enjoy, point, about, destroy, count, join, cloud, coin, joyful, out and cowboy. The categories for sorting should be oi, ou, oy (and they can work on ow from the additional words and cowboy). These patterns make a "gliding" sound as they are pronounced.

Additional words you can use for practicing spelling generalizations include: spoil, boil, foil, our, around, boy, joy, toy, brown, crown, crowd, broil, choice, joint, noise, aloud, appoint, avoid, disappoint, amount, cloudy, doubt, allow and scowl.

From Mr. Moore, "It's FIELD DAY TIME! This year our field day will be on Monday June 4th and we are looking for as many parent volunteers as we can get. There are two sessions available, 8:30 - 11:05 or 11:30 - 2:30 AM. Christy Harston has created a very cool volunteer sign up page on SignupGenius.com. All you have to do is click on the link below and select one or both of the sessions. A subway lunch and drinks will be provided for volunteers to enjoy.http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A48ACAB29A13-field

Thank you for all your help and making this fun day possible for your children. Please feel free to contact me with any questions."
