Hello Families!

Today went by so super fast! The children were introduced to the letter Pp. I asked them to bring in a picture or drawing of something that begins with the letter p.

Please remember, we are testing your child on writing not only their first name, but also their last name. The test will be on Friday. Thanks!

Today we practiced sorting objects by shapes. We did this with various shaped erasers.

We also added another word wall word to our math word wall. This word is 2D Shapes. A 2D shapes is a shape that is flat. Examples of 2D shapes are square, circle, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, and trapezoid.

We used 2D shapes to make a fire engine. These were sent home. Please check your child’s folder for these 2D shape creations.

Please remember, we are still collecting canned goods!!! Please help us reach our school goal of 5,000 cans!

Please remember to send in $3.00 and the signed permission slip for the Boo Bash on Friday is you and your chid plan on attending.

We will have a pumpkin patch at Miller School on Thursday afternoon during school hours. The pumpkins are $1.00. The money will go towards the PTA. Please send in the dollar in an envelope labeled pumpkin patch with your child’s name on it. Thanks

For writing today we wrote thank you notes to the firefighters! We used the sentence starter…”Thank you for teaching us…” We learned alot from these brave firefighters.

Here are some of the things we learned:

1. Have a working smoke detector in the house. Check the batteries routinely and change them twice a year.
2. Discuss with your family a safe meeting place in case of a fire.
3. Call 9-1-1 in case of emergency. (This is another super good reason that you should teach your child their address and phone number soon.)
4. If your clothes catch on fire, STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
5. If you are in a smoke filled room, stay low.
6. Never hide from the firefighters if they are in your house.
7. Look both ways twice before crossing the street. (cross with an adult)
8. We also talked about trick or treating safety. Ex. Trick or treat in lighted areas with an adult. Never go in strangers’ houses.
9. Do not touch matches or lighters.
10. We also learned lots of interesting details about the fire engine!

We read a non-fiction book about fire engines as well. We looked at features of non-fiction books. (Ex. Contents, glossary, index, photos)

Please enjoy these pictures from our day!

Thanks for all you do!
