First, a big thank you for all of the books you purchased for our class! Thank you so much! We will read, learn and make good use of them!
I have purchased some candy canes that are red and green for Grinch Day. If you want to send in a green snack for your child that would be fun! If they cannot have the candy cane please provide an alternative treat or let me know what I can purchase that will work. Thanks!
We had a fun visit with the counselor this week for a lesson.
We will be back to our regular library time this week, Friday at 10:00. Please be sure they bring in their library books to return.
It is cold and unpredictable right now. Please be sure that your child has a jacket every single day. They can always take it off if they get too warm. If they don't have one I will let them borrow one from the lost and found. Thank you for your help!
Also, please keep sending in those water bottles. I will let them drink and refill as much as possible. This will help us get through the cold and flu season as healthy as possible.
I am in need of Band Aids for the classroom. If you are out and about and can pick up a box I'd really appreciate it. A quick band aid helps us avoid going to the nurse and missing class for a paper cut. (lol)
Have a great day!
April McGhee
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
Language Arts-We are doing a fun unit on drama/theater. We have read many plays, learned new vocabulary and are even acting a bit.
Social Studies-We are still looking at then and now. We learned about the Wright Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell last week.
Science-We are learning about rocks and soil. We learned about igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. We worked on identifying attributes of found rocks.
