Rodman Early Childhood Program
This Week at The Rodman
Hello Rodman families. This week we will continue our author study with Anna Dewdney being our highlighted author this month. All classes will be reading Llama, Llama Red Pajama this week and celebrating with a pajama day. Each room has their own date for the pajama day so check with your classroom teacher for details. Our letter sounds this month are B,P and Q. We are stressing the sound the letter makes more than the actual visual shape of the letter. The ability to discriminate sounds in words is a critical skill for reading success.
Rodman Reads
Are you enjoying reading Brontorina by James Howe? We are waiting for your pictures of your family reading together. Watch our main bulletin board to see everyone! This week you will have a little homework to do related to the story. Stay tuned for more details!
Conferences
Next week we will hold parent/guardian teacher conferences. These will occur Wednesday afternoon and Thursday evening. Please be sure to return your form so that we can try to accommodate everyone's schedule. Because of conferences next Wednesday, the 20th, is an early release. The children will be dismissed at 11:35.
Pajama Story Time and the Scholastic Book Fair-CAPT Event
Next Tuesday, November 19th we will host a Pajama Storytime with our CAPT. This event will run from 6-7 p.m. and the book fair will be open for shopping! I am looking forward to being the reader for this event and hope many of you can make it.The book fair will be open during arrival and dismissal next week also.
National Kindness Day
Did you know that Wednesday is National Kindness Day? Of course we don't need a special day to be kind, but it sure is a good reminder.
CAPT Meeting TONIGHT!
The CAPT meeting is this evening from 6-7 p.m. This group sponsors family events and supports our school. They are in desperate need of volunteers in order for their work to continue so please consider joining us.
