Oct.1- Oct. 5

Hi Parents and Families! Thank you to all who have provided supplies for our classroom, we greatly appreciate it!! 

As we enter the month of October we'll be doing quite a few activities with pumpkins. It would be great if a few parents wouldn't mind bringing in a large pumpkin for use in the classroom. Ideally, it would be nice to have about 5 or 6 large pumpkins so the students can work in small groups to estimate and count seeds, find the circumference around the pumpkin and describe their pumpkin together. We won't be using the pumpkins until the second week of October, thanks! 

Have a great week!

Hi Parents and Families! It was wonderful to see each of you last week at Back to School Night, thank you for coming! We have another fun week planned, as we head into fall we have been talking a lot about apples and seeds in science. We've charted apple tastings, eaten foods made from apples (apple butter, apple chips and apple cider). We've made applesauce in the classroom and this week we'll make an apple pie! Ask your student to tell you about the seed necklace that we made last week as well! Below you'll find our homework, spelling words, announcements and events for the week!
