FOR THE WEEK OF November 9,2009:
This week we will be reviewing the letters "C,c,N,n,I,i,M,m,P,p,S,s,T,t"
and the words "have" and "to." We will also be reviewing color words, number
words, and patterns. We will discuss the characters in stories, the sequence
of events, and the settings, as well as the author and illustrator. Students
will be creating patterns, and learning about foods and where they come from.
If possible, please send in small paper plates and large paper
plates. Please do not send in styrofoam as we can't paint on it. These items
are needed for upcoming art projects. Thank you so much for your help.
Don't forget to keep up with the reading logs for "Book It!" You can
list the books sent home in the purple folder as well as books you choose
from home or from the public library. Earn your free kid's pizza coupon from
Pizza Hut! We started the November "Book It!" last week.
We will be reading the book Stone Soup the week prior to Thanksgiving.
On Thursday, November 19th, we will make "Stone Soup." A list will be sent
home at the end of this week with one item for your child to bring in, if
possible, before Wednesday, Nov. 18th. We will have our Thanksgiving
celebration that afternoon and eat our soup. Parents are welcome to attend.
Our field trip to the Children's Museum was great! The students,
chaperones, and teachers had a good time. The students were on very good
behavior. Thank you to all of the children and the chaperones for making it a
success!
We are continuing our Smart Bodies program. Each day we will be
encouraged to eat the fruits and vegetables offered in our cafeteria. We also
will exercise for at least 10 minutes using learning songs. This should be a
benefitful program for the children and myself!
