Rhyme Time for The 4/5's Class

Your kids are learning this rhyme during our Reading Group each day.
It would be great if you could practice this with them at home as well (all letter in / /s are short/soft sounds, not hard)-

A is the first vowel we will say,
/a/ is the short vowel sound of A.

E is the next vowel don't you see,
/e/ is the short vowel sound of E.

I is the third vowel that goes by,
/i/ is the short vowel sound of I.

O is the fourth vowel that I know,
/o/ is the short vowel sound of O.

U is the fifth vowel, that is true,
/u/ is the short vowel sound of U.

Great Idea for Your Kids

Do you have an iphone? (I don't, but most of the people I know, do... so I am hoping you do too ;)

Take a look at this app-

It's only 99cents and perfect for your kids to practice their letters. I love it... and if you have an iphone, I know your kids would love it too!

Threes Class

Don't feel left out if your child isn't a three year old, you four and five year old parents will get their own special post next week sometime, but for today, it's all about the threes!

Did you know that we had a fire engine visit two weeks ago?
Thanks to our friend Wyatt, whose dad is a Firefighter (and thanks to Wyatt's mom for setting the whole thing up and letting me borrow her camera), we had a GREAT time learning all about the Camas Fire Department!








And... just because I can't help myself (your kiddos are just all so cute!) I did a mini photo shoot with them (we were practicing for the big photo day next week) ;)-
