Poems or Songs

NINE Number Word Song

(Jingle Bells tune)

Nine, nine, nine.

Nine, nine, nine.

N - I - N - E, nine.

Nine kids on a team.

Nine fish in a stream.

That is number nine.

The leprechauns are marching.

They're marching in the halls.

They're marching on the ceiling.

They're marching down the walls.

They're marching two by two

And then four by four.

They think we cannot see them.

Look out! Here come some more!

Alphabet Sound Chant for Letter J

Juggling joker, juggling joker,     j-j-j
(Move your hands like you're juggling)

From the

Teacher's Desk

     Don't forget to send back the toothbrushing chart on Tuesday (that tracked your child's toothbrushing last week),

    For Show and Tell this week, bring something beginning with letter V on Thursday. A homework paper will come home on Thursday and will be due on Friday.   

     Thanks for working with your child every night on those take-home books. I am really impressed with the improvement in their reading skills! Congratulations to these students who completely filled their first sticker chart after reading 15 books: Kevin, Stevie, Isabel, Daryl, Jazlyn, Courtney, Josie and Trystan. They received a "Reading Rocks" dogtag necklace for reaching this first milestone!

    You may soon hear your child talk about a leprechaun visiting our classroom. I think he may cause a lot of mischief  next week!

    Thanks to everyone who attended the Math Parent Involvement afternoon. I'm sure the children loved their new measurement game and the inchworms. Thanks to Ms. Massaro for her help with this.
