Homework & Reminders 10/30/14

Homework:

1. Folder- Math page (2 sides) Remember to color the SMALLER number!  The maze on blue paper is an extra just for fun page!

2. Reading Bag activities 15 minutes— NEW BOOK!! MY Autumn Nature Walk, please read and discuss the word pattern, remember to help them point at each word when they read.  THANK YOU!

3. Math Bag activities 10 minutes

Reminders!!!!!

FOR TOMORROW…please send your child’s costume in a bag— we will change at 12:45 for parade to begin at 1:00!! DO NOT WEAR COSTUME TO SCHOOL— your parents will be called to bring you regular clothing if you wear your costume.

please send in individually wrapped candy for our Halloween goodie bags students will get to take home.. 

please send your child with $1.00 to get a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch (we will do this in the morning so send students with money in the MORNING!– I will collect first thing!)

Volunteers please come at 12:45 to help change students into costume.  During the parade, I will need some parents to stay to help prepare snack for us when we return.  We already have pudding cups, cupcakes, and juice for snack so please ONLY send in items that can go in goodies bags.

After snack, we will do games/crafts until the end of the day.  It would be SO HELPFUL to have parents stay to stay at centers and help students with the games and crafts!!!

Thanks so much! Looking forward to a FUN Halloween!

Using our 5 senses to explore pumpkins!

Today we got to SEE a large pumpkin.   TOUCH the outside and inside of a pumpkin.  We got to SMELL pumpkin (most said yucky!).  We got to HEAR the pumpkin by knocking on it (it was quiet).  Lastly, we got to TASTE pumpkin seeds (most said yummy-thumbs up!) we also tied in math by counting the seeds!!! Our pumpkin had 64 seeds!!imageimage
