Fun Fair Week!

Happy "Fun Fair Week!"  Things are getting exciting here.  A few reminders for those of you new to Irving School.

• You can buy tickets after school every day this week by the office.  They are discounted!  The tickets allow you to play games, do the cake walk and other events.  
• Teachers have volunteered to get a "pie in the face" for the good of the school!  While no one wants to get the pie in the face, we all desperately want the bragging rights that come with raising the most money...so send in those quarters, dimes, pennies...even dollars!  I'll wash the pie off my face in 2 minutes, but the money raised helps us all year!
• The silent auction has great items available.  There is an online component that starts TONIGHT at 6:00 pm.  

In other news...

Reading:  Wow!  Can I just say, "WOW!!!!!"  The kids are making so much progress!  Have your child tell you about the "h" brothers.  We learned that every word needs a vowel.  Can your child sing the vowel song?

Math:  Keep practicing those number bonds to 10.  Also, practice writing those numbers to 30.  This week we will continue measuring and building shapes.  

Writing:  We are working on 

• spaces between words
• spelling sight words correctly
• sounding out unknown words
• starting with a capital letter and ending with a period
• correct letter sizing (tall letters tall, short letters short)

Homework went home today and we will resume our Monday-Friday homework schedule.
