October 12, 2012

Hi Everyone!

This week was short but action packed!  We spent a lot of our time wrapping up our our old theme and we are now ready to move onto our new one:  Bats/Halloween.  For our art lesson on Thursday, we made clothespin bats which will be displayed on our hallway door.  Please drop by if you get the opportunity to see them, some time before October 31st.  In math, we made patterns on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk...the day before it rained.  We were happy to practice our math skills and brighten up the school, even if it was for just a short time :)  We also finished our first rotation of the special helper list which means we have finished making words with the letters in everyone's name.  Our record was Stephanie's name.  Together we were able to make a list of 50 words with the letters in her name.  Incredible!  We are now focusing on a new 'number of the day' as part of our calendar time. Your children can tell you more about that.

A few reminders...

Notices for the Pumpkin Patch went home this week, please return ASAP.  Thank you!  Also, just a friendly reminder to please send in Earthquake Kits, two whiteboard markers and $4.00 for the memory binders if you have not already done so. Also, a reminder to grade two students that Spelling City is now available for you to use each week to practice your spelling words.  I will add each weeks' words on the site each Monday (the link for this site is available on this blog).

Have a wonderful weekend!
