We are happy to have you in our Smyrna Elementary family! I am looking forward to a new year with our Smyrna Stars. We are beginning our journey to becoming readers. Not only will we learn to read and write, we will also develop leadership skills. At Smyrna, we believe that readers are leaders!
In our classroom, I will provide daily letter practice activities using Zoo-phonics. We are already learning to identify and name the letters in the alphabet with our large animal cards. This week, we reviewed the letters A-G, with a focus on the G in Gordo Gorilla. Ask your child to show you the signal for Gordo Gorilla.

| We used Wikki Stix to form the letter G. |

| We learned that letters are made of circles, curves, and sticks. |
