Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We did art time. We used clay to make pinch pots. (Kymiah)

We learned the game Grab and Count: Which is More? (James and Dylan)

We picked out new books from the classroom library. (Owen)

We are trying something new. We are getting points and not points. (Andrew) This is a new behavior system I am trying this week! Classroom DoJo is an app that comes highly recommended by teachers. There is a note coming home today explaining more! The kids earn positive points for behaviors like staying on task and following directions and points are taken away for disrespect, unsafe body, talking about of turn, etc. Parents are able to log in and see how their child did each day! Please follow the directions from the folder and visit www.classdojo.com/parents to set up an account. This way you see the points/reports and I send messages about specific behaviors. We will see if we like it!

We read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf. (Ginger)

We did Fundations. We learned the letter i and the i sound. (JR)

We colored in our Fundations notebook. (Mikayla)

We did Daily 5. We got to pick whatever we wanted! We did it all by ourselves! (Sophia)

Some friends got to read with Mrs. Hotchkiss. (Ginger)

We did Quiet Time. We did the calendar. (Malai)

We did the Fundations cards in the chart. (JR)

We did Monday News. (Evan)

This morning we colored a pumpkin. (Layla)

We did the Bones dance. (Kymiah)

We went outside and had lunch. (Dylan)

There is a paper coming home today showing one of the great items you can bid on during the silent auction at the Cougar Fun Fest: A trip to Disney World!

Please make sure you return the yellow slip if you would like to come in and read to a small group of kids during our Fall Celebration with Books! I will have little stations set up so the kids can listen to parents read! It is a lot of fun!

If you have any G rated movies that would be good for our Movie and Popcorn party on Friday please let me know! I do not own any G rated movies!

Thanks! Have a great night!
