Science
More pumpkins! We carved our pumpkins, and made observations about the inside and outside of a pumpkin!
Letters
We have 8 letters that we have worked on either in centers or handwriting. We all should be able to tell you the names of these letters: M, B, R, L, F, E, H, and T. Help us practice these letters at home pretty please!
King/Queen of the Jungle:
Due to our lunch schedule this year, I had to change our Thursday King/Queen of the Jungle Schedule. Now on Thursdays, the student will get to pick out what we have for snack out of our cupboard. Not quite as fun as having lunch with me, but it still works!
Cookies for Conferences
We need cookie donations for our parent/teacher conference nights. We ask that for this fall conference, students with the last names between A-L please send in a package of cookies by November 5th.
