We can't even begin to talk about this week until we highlight our first field trip. The pet shop visit was fun for all. A class book filled with photos will be circulating tomorrow.
Today we began rehearsing for our Town Meeting presentation of This Land is Your Land. We will perform around the flag pole on Monday, October 11th at 8:15 am. We would love to have you join us.
The Leo club kicked off their annual Halloween costume drive. Outside the Lower Division office you will find a container to donate your used costumes. Contributions will be organized by Upper Division students, who will be working with children at the YWCA to get them ready for Trick or Treating.
We have two weeks remaining in the Box Tops for Education classroom challenge. Keep those labels coming!
In Writer's Workshop this week we will be focusing on category lists to generate details for our upcoming stories. During reading, students will be conferencing with the teachers and selecting "Just Right Books" from the classroom leveled library. Our Everyday Math focus is patterns and measurement. We will also be revisiting sorting, numbers 1-20, and pattern block use. Our handwriting continues with "Frog Jump Letters". This week capital letters P, B, and R will be in our lessons. In science we will be reviewing our senses and recording our observations.
This week Mrs. Mirza will be substituting for Mrs. Minke, while she is in Michigan with her grandson and family. As a going away treat, Mrs. Minke transformed the loft into a hat shop. The children are very excited to explore and pretend in the new environment.
