Well, I hope you are all successfully harvesting your winter meat and berry supply. Last week flew by with only four days of school. We will have a full five days this week, but on Monday September 17 there will a teacher in-service day.  So next week there will be another short week of school.

Most of the students did really well with their "Home fun" folders and got stickers daily for returning their books and assignments. If they got three stickers by Friday, they picked out of our treasure box full of prizes. Please help your child in this area and read to them nightly. It will make a huge difference in their school achievement. 

We continue to get to know each other and positive classroom procedures in our class. Through our “All About Us” theme we have focused on things we like to do, feelings, and our five senses.   This has been tied into our language activities and Science blocks. Also, our class pet "Friend" the tadpole is changing and now has back legs. In addition, there are caterpillars preparing to make cocoons soon. Ask your child about what they are learning and observing as these creatures change.

If you want to order any books for your child from the Scholastic book order, please return the form with the payment amount by this Friday. Have a great week!
