Mrs. Blair's Kindercat News
December 8-12, 2008

Reading
Our story of the week is See How We Grow. It is about a set of twin girls and how they have changed over the years. In honor of this, Wednesday will be filled with special guests. A former BES teacher, Mrs. Stubenrauch, will visit our classroom with her triplets. Dr. Renfroe will talk to us about being the mom of twins. Mrs. Dodd will talk to us about growing up with a twin brother. I would like for you to send a picture of your child to school when he/she was a baby. It will be returned. Our main focus of the week will be cause and effect. We will also learn about verbs ending with an s.

Focus Letters
D d K k
We will learn about /d/ and /k/ as a beginning and ending sound.

C/K Rule: Begin the word with a k if the next letter is e, i, or y. Begin it with a c if the next letter is a, o, u, or any consonant.
