HOOT9



Oh, there's nothing like the groovy Cat in the Hat, when it comes to reading bat, sat, mat, rat and all things -at.

Oct 18 (Tuesday) -- 10:00: Field trip to Taos Public Library --  Library cards please!
Oct 20 (Thursday) -- 4:30: Open House / Curriculum Night -- Please plan on attending so you can visit your child's classroom, learn about the curriculum, and ask questions. Arriving on time will allow you and your child to tour the classroom before attending an informational session with Miss Jutka. Childcare will be provided till 5:30 pm.
Oct 27 -- 6:00pm Annual TISA Lantern Walk on Manzanares campus

Check out your child's amazing e-portfolio. Please let me know if you need help viewing it.

Sight words on the rise:  a, at, am

We banished uppercase B. Lower case letters rule! (We will be gradually phasing out all uppercase letters. They will only be used to honor first letters in proper names for now.)
Challenge: can your child write their name using lowercase letters (except for the first letter in their name)?

homework: 
Due Tuesday: bring YOUR LIBRARY CARD and a book report (use a piece of paper if you are missing the form and draw your favorite part of a book/story)
Due Wednesday:  Math book p.9
Due Thursday: Check out the lost and found box at school and take home what's yours!

Parents, please check out the resource articles on the blog (under READING) and the volunteer sign-up sheets for upcoming events during open house. Thank you for your support!

Joke of the week
"Teacher: Has anyone ever run away from home? Why did you go back?
Student A: Because I had to pee.
Student B: Because I forgot my bike."

Giant "tessekur ederim" (Turkish "thank you") goes out to my overseas teaching friend, Barbara Tanjala for funding our Big Shot dye cut machine all the way! It's on its way!
