Mid-week News

Happy Wednesday!  

A couple of weeks ago, I sent home a book order.  I would like to close that order out.  If you are interested in ordering, please bring the order in by Friday.  I will also send new book orders home next week.  Consider purchasing books for gifts or stocking stuffers.  If the book you order is for a gift, let me know and I will find work with you to deliver the book discretely.  

We will be making pumpkin pies on Monday, November 16.  We have all the ingredients we need.  Thank you!

We continued our work on nutritious food today.  The class was asked to sort foods by whether it was healthy or unhealthy.  They really focused on this activity and did a great job.  They also did some writing about healthy food.  This was more of a challenge for them.  We went to the library.  Some of the children were able to check out new books.  Many still had books at home.  Please remember that library books need to be returned before they can check out a new one.  

In the afternoon we worked on Lexia and went to the music room.  We also read If I Built a House by Chris Van Dusen.  In the book, the main character describes the magnificent house he would build.  After reading it, we created a Brace Map that lists the rooms we would include in a house our class would build.  Their ideas were fun and creative!  I've included a picture of the Brace Map below. 

The school's Lost and Found is getting really full.  If you are missing items, please come in and take a look.  After Thanksgiving, all items that are not claimed will be donated.
