In The Know

We will be returning from the field trip at 1:15.  If you are meeting us there please know that you must sign your child out at the farm. We will have a sheet.  
If you are picking your child up please be at the school by 1:00 to ensure you are there upon our arrival. :) 

Your child must have a lunch. No glass bottles please.
Please dress for the weather.  It may be muddy! 

If you have not returned your child's permission slip and money please do so as soon as possible.

Today we moved on to learning the color orange during our calendar time. We learn these color songs as part of our shared reading.  

We read and discussed The Bumpy Little Pumpkin.  

During our math time we are continuing to work on number recognition. 0-20. for many of our friends we have moved onto 20-50.  

We are counting forward each new day to 100.

Ask your child to count backward from 20 all the way to 1!  (They may dance;)

During small group reading time our focus is word study, and applying your reading strategies.  All of our groups are working on Get Your Mouth Ready, and Look at the picture when we are "stuck" on a word.  Everyday your child is reading and discussing a book in small group.  

Homework begins today, October 6th.  Please make sure your child cuts out their word study sort.  All homework should be returned on Friday, however the initialed word study sheet and the nightly reading sheet should remain in your child's folder.
We like to celebrate their hard work.  On Friday your child's name will be entered in the homework raffle.  Each Friday 6 names will be chosen from the raffle.  Those 6 children will go to the reward bin.  Their names will stay in the raffle. So- the more your child does their homework the better their chances.  Again, this happens on Friday.
