11/03-11/07  This week we had a visit from Ms. P who taught us a lot about the letter P.  The kids had an exciting week with the election and debate put on by the 8th grade students on Tuesday to learning all about pennies.  We talked a lot about the new month and things that take place in November.  There are quite a few Birthdays this month, as well as the election and Thanksgiving.  We will also be saying good-bye to one of our friends next week as she prepares to move to a new school near her new house.  Meadow's last day will be on Friday, November 14th.  We wish Meadow and her family well as they move to a new house and a new school.  We will miss you Meadow!!  The kids brought turkeys home on Thursday to decorate with you over the weekend.  Have fun with the project as the kids were really excited to have "homework".  Have a great weekend!

10/6-10/10

This week we had the wonderful Mr. H visit our room with his happy hair!  We talked about houses and what makes ours special, read a poem, created our own family portraits, as well as many other fun H projects.  Our buddies came to our room and created pumpkins with us which we now have hanging from our room.  We had a lot of fun getting to know our buddies this week.  We also had a visit from the 7th graders to talk to us about Bully Prevention.  Our week ended with a leaf hunt to triangle park (one of Mr. H's favorite activities. 

Remember that Monday is the final marathon turn in date.  Please remember to bring in marathon money on Monday.  No school on Thursday or Friday next week.  It was wonderful to see so many of you at conferences this week and I look forward to seeing the rest of you on Tuesday.  Have a great weekend.

This week has been full of N activities as we met our newest letter person Mr. N (noisy nose).  We talked a lot about our 5 senses, and used them all during our nacho taste test on Wednesday.  We have been working on identifying our colors and will finish those colors up early next week.  Mr. Knowles came into our classroom on Friday and read the story A Stranger in the Woods to us.  Thanks Mr. Knowles!!  The marathon is being held on Saturday, October 4th at 9:00am and I am looking forward to seeing you all at the park.  Our class had the highest percentage of money turned in on Friday so we got to run around the school!  Way to go!!  See you on Saturday!

Ms. T arrived at our classroom this week and has been teaching us all about cleanliness, germs, and teeth.  We have read Arthur's Tooth and talked about how to keep teeth healthy.  We are working on washing our hands slowly and EVERY time we use the bathroom. It has been a great week to talk about health with so many colds in the classroom.  We made cards for our spirit buddies during religion and talked about how we are all special.  It has been a great week.

September 8-12

We had a really full week.  This was the first week that we went to all the specialists, went to church, and participated in the marathon assembly on Friday.  The kids did a great job learning the routine.  The marathon packet came home in Friday's folder.  Just a reminder to turn in book orders on Monday the 15th.  The 15th (Monday) is also picture day, so your child can be out of uniform.  Have a great weekend!

What Do You Stand For?

This year we will be working on character traits. We will have a new character trait and new manners that we will work on each month. For September, the character trait that we will be working on is respect. The manners that we will work on during the month of September will include greeting people, as well as saying please and thank you.
