Announcements

          It has been a great 5 weeks. The children are adjusting well and 
getting used to the procedures of our classroom. I was out for two weeks for 
surgery but I am back and much better!

Federal cards went home and were due Tuesday, October 13. Most have been 
returned. If you still yours, please return it now. 

We are learning about the Earth, sun, and moon in science and discovering why 
we have day and night. Study cards will be coming home soon. Please have yur 
child cut them up put them in a baggie and add them to your growing 
collection. Remember your child will be tested on the whole year's curriculum 
in May.

We are making connections to the stories we read. Reading books are going 
home each night. Please remember to send it back each day as this is the book 
we are studying in class as well. When a child forgets their book they are at 
a disadvantage when they come to small group reading. 

We are continuing to amke class books about things we like, what we like to 
do with our friends, and some free writing. 

Reminders:
1. Sign your child's behavior chart each night.

2. Homework is checked for doneness each day and the entire packet is turned 
in on Fridays.

3. Send in a water bottle for your child so they may stay hydrated all day.
