Letter Learning S
S has two sounds. S that makes the /s/ sound (as in safe). S that makes the /z/ sound (as in news). When we write the letter 'S' we always begin our letter at the top. We curve around and back again.

Why Jigsaw Puzzles are Good for Your Brain?
Not only are jigsaw puzzles excellent brain training and coordination improvement tools, but they're fun, too! Working on a puzzle helps develop your abilities to reason, analyze, sequence, deduce, using logical thought processes and problem-solving skills.

| Team Work |
We have now spent time focusing on 2 alphabet letters. Try to find things around your house that begin with O and C, and see if your child is able to sort the items by their initial letter sound. Try playing Eye Spy, searching for things that begin with certain letter sounds (Eye spy with my little eye, something that starts with the letter ___ ).
Students are taking a brave step adding letters to label their pictures!
Important Dates:
Wednesday, October 31st - Royal Oak is excited to move in a new direction this year!
In place of Pumpkinella, students are invited to wear their Halloween costumes on October 31st. Please have students come dressed in their costume in the morning (PM Kindergarten, please come ready in the afternoon!).
Please have your child practice getting in and out of their costume so they can independently dress for washroom breaks. We ask that costumes do NOT include: masks, weapons, accessories, or blood/gore. Regular learning activities will continue throughout the day. Students will get the opportunity to share their costumes with each other by participating in a parade in the halls. In keeping with learning about healthy eating, please do not send any special treats or snacks to share. Our Staff is looking forward to the 31st!
