This week we discussed Chrysanthym, by Kevin Henkes and noticed how there were similarities between her and Lilly from Lilly’s Plastic Purse, also by Kevin Henkes. Both characters are excited about school and then something happens to make them sad. Talk to your child about these stories.
We had a great assembly on Thursday where we highlighted some problems that our trash causes for the animals around us. We need to make sure not to litter, bring lunches home at night and work on reducing our trash by not throwing away uneaten food and reusing lunch bags and containers.
Students are working on writing letters and numbers correctly and blending sounds to make words. We are finding hidden partners within numbers and doing Marci Cook number tiles.
Next week we will learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin and compare pumpkins and apples.
Reminders:
10/9-Charleston Wrap fundraiser deadline
10/23-10/27- Conference week 12:15 dismissal
