It's been a short but busy week!
In honor of Fire Safety Week, we had a visit from Ms. Lisa Braun with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue. Ms. Braun spoke with us about fire safety and shared important information. Please ask your child about our fire safety program! :)
Pumpkins:
We will complete an in-class pumpkin investigation. Each child will need his/her own small pumpkin. I sent a note home about this in last week's Thursday folder. Please send your child's small pumpkin to school by Monday. Please write your child's name on the bottom of his/her pumpkin.
Fall Party:
Please mark your calendar for our Fall party on Wednesday, October 31st at 1:30 our classroom. All families are welcome to attend! (NO costumes, please.) I will send a food menu home before the party. Our awesome team of Room Moms and I thank you for your donations. Your funds will be put to good use, as the ladies plan for our class celebrations. :)
Water Bottles:
If you're not already doing so, please begin to send a water bottle to school each day with your child. We do NOT have an in-class water fountain. The kids get tired and thirsty over the course of our day, and water goes a long way toward helping them stay energetic and attentive.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will continue our Word Detectives Unit, in which we learn ways readers solve hard words.
- Writing: We will learn how writers bring characters to life in stories.
- Math: We will begin our geometry unit. We will talk about shapes in our environment. We will talk about sides, vertices, and right angles. We will sort shapes by their attributes.
- Science: We will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin. We will begin our pumpkin investigation.
Reach out at anytime with questions, comments, and feedback.
