I hope you all had an enjoyable Easter vacation!  That will be our last long vacation until summer is here!

We finished learning the letter Qq and combination qu today with our wedding.  It was so quaint!  Thank you for sending your child to school dressed up so nicely.  It really felt like we were at a real wedding!

Next week in Phonics we will be learning a long vowel sound rule.  When a vowel is not followed by a consonant it is long; code it with a macron.  For example - a, flu, hi, me, and so all have long vowels.

Word List #20 will be sent home today and tested on Friday, April 12.  Please remember to practice the words every night with your child!

You will notice on some of the Phonics worksheets that our class has been writing words instead of only letters.  One of the end of the year assessments will ask the students to write as many words as they can in a certain amount of time.  I give them about 6 minutes in class to write as many words as possible.  If you notice that your child is not filling up all of the spaces with words on his/her Phonics sheet, please take some time to practice writing words with your child at home.  Thank you!

The weekly specials schedule is:
Monday - Day 2 - Music
Tuesday - Day 3 - Gym (Don't forget your sneakers!)
Wednesday - Day 4 - Computers
Thursday - Day 5 - Art
Friday - Day 1 - Library (Remember your books!)

If you ever have any questions, please contact me by phone or e-mail.

Have a super weekend!
