Newsletter & Snack Calendar





Our class has reached 10 Gold Pride Awards which means we get to celebrate in a special way! J  We voted and decided we would like to bring a stuffed animal to school.  Please make sure the stuffed animal is one that is small enough to be at your child’s desk (one that can fit in a brown paper lunch bag).  We will be celebrating on Monday, October 29th! 

Book Orders are due Monday, November 19th.  If you would like to order online here is the information you’ll need:
Class Activation Code: GT8GF
Please do not buy Froggy Gets Dressed because I will be purchasing this book for every child as a gift for the holidays.

Super "Designers" and Take 2: Fall Fun

During Math today, students had the opportunity to build different "designs" with pattern blocks (trapezoids, hexagons, squares, rhombi, triangles).  They were pretty proud of them and wanted to show off their building skills :).

A turtle!



I can't remember what he told me this was! Sorry!


A turtle!

A robot!


A policeman!


A flower!

 

A garden!


A flower!


A flower!


A trapezoid!

A worm!


Later, we had the chance to re-take our class picture outside.  It was another beautiful Fall day and I was upset they didn't turn out yesterday.  So I took this opportunity to re-capture the fun that we had yesterday in the leaves.

Finding Patterns

During Math, our job was the be detectives and find patterns around the room and then out in the hallway.  We needed our detective goggles on of course!  Kids do have homework tonight to find patterns around the house.  Please sign the homework and send it back to school with your child.



Havin' Fun in the Fall

We had a few minutes to enjoy the beautiful Fall day today!  The kids had the chance to "rake" leaves into a big pile.  Then we threw them as high as we could into the air.  I did take pictures of the whole group but they didn't turn out-which really bums me out because they would have been such neat pictures!    I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as the kids enjoyed playing in the leaves.
Happy Fall!
