Dear families,

The frogs would like to invite you to a Thanksgiving Celebration. It will take place in our classroom at 9:30 on November 25th. The children will sing a few songs and we will eat bread that they baked. Families are invited. Look for your invitation on Monday.

We had a busy three day week and we accomplished a lot. C & O were our handwriting letters this week. Phonics was the sound of l. And our word of the week was, and. We continue to practice reading skills so we can develop into strong readers. The children have started to work on "fancying" up one of their stories.

Math has been fun, we are exploring the different ways you can represent a numeral. Four tally marks, four dots, and four spots on a ten frame are all equal. We've counted to make sure.

Safety 10/2014

We did finish up safety this month. 

• Officer Mike came in and discussed Halloween Safety and Stranger Safety. 
• The fire department came and told the children how to keep safe in case of fire, DO NOT HIDE from firefighters even if they look strange. Make a plan with your family.
• Mr. Fosher discussed bus safety.
• Diane Griffith discussed personal safety. We learned, say STOP! NO!, GO away, TELL a grownup.

Sorry for the delay on this. My computer was down.
