Literacy
This week we worked on the letter Mm and Nn. We sang our ABC chant, played Hickety Tickety to identify letters in our name, and practiced handwriting both uppercase and lowercase of each of the letters. Have your child practice writing Mm and Nn at home with markers, crayons, or a pencil!
Math
This week we practiced a method to help determine if a number is a double (even) or if it is odd. We drew our own bikes to represent a pair (two wheels) and made a large class graph.
Family
Today we celebrated the 50th day of school! We listened to songs from the fifties and even learned some dance moves. We practiced writing 50 star words and had a Sock Hop Dance Party to end the big day! So fun!

Cooler Weather
Just a reminder to send warm clothes *with names written in them (jackets, gloves, hats, scarves, etc.) for your child because they go outside for Recess and sometimes Gym.
*Please see the attached document "Winter is Coming" at the bottom of the page if you need support with getting warmer clothes for the winter.
Supplies In Need
Please send in any leftover candy you have laying around the house from the fall festivities and I can store them in the classroom for Gingerbread Houses in December.
Thank you!

Birthdays
At Crestview Elementary School we take time during morning announcements to highlight students who are celebrating their birthdays. This includes announcing their names and grade levels over the school wide intercom system. If for any reason you do not want your child’s name and birthday announced, please reach out to Janet Ellis, Office Coordinator, in our front office and she will make note of the request.
A reminder that due to life threatening allergies students should not be bringing birthday treats to school this year.
Parents as Partners
I want to change the focus from parent involvement to parent engagement. My goal is for us to work together, as partners, to do what is best for your child. I am opening up the opportunity for you to come, view, observe, or take part in mini-lessons at our school. If you are interested please email me and we can set up a time!
Thanks for all you do!
