Hello! I don't know about you, but I LOVE this time of year! It doesn't necessarily feel like fall today, but I am excited for all of the change that I know is coming. We are learning all about apples and Johnny Appleseed this week and next week. If you are able to send an apple to school with your child sometime this week, I would appreciate it! We are going to taste test apples, discuss the parts of an apple, do some experiments with apples and even make apple butter at the end of the 2 weeks to celebrate all we have learned!
Parent Information Meeting
Principal Miller will lead a discussion October 11 @6:00 to discuss report cards, what proficiency scales are, and answer questions about class parties. I am sure there will be more information than that, but that is what I know she is planning to talk about at this time. Our report cards will look different this year than in years past. We are in a transition period and we will have the new report card next school year that we will be using from then on.
New Student
We welcomed a new student in our classroom today. Her name is Bevlyn and she came all the way from California! The class is VERY excited about a new friend:) We now have 17 students in our class.
Rest Time
As I am sure you have heard, there is NO more rest time in our day! The class is not very sad about this! ha ha! I am excited to have the extra time in our day. We are doing Word Work in place of rest time. The class is learning the words am, at this week.
Pizza Hut Book-It Program/Reading Logs
I sent home a calendar for the month of October today. Your child can color in the picture each day they read by themselves or with someone. Please send these in the last day of the month and I will send a coupon for a free personal pan pizza home with your child. A new calendar will come home each month. The program runs October through March. I hope you will participate in this program. The kids LOVE it and my hope is that it will help make reading fun for them! Please do not be too concerned about the time or number of days that you read, I know things get busy and there may not be time to read every day! Just send the log back to school in their red folder at the end of the month.
