Hi Parents!

We did my Me Bag today. (Caroline)

We did math. We played Gotcha! Mrs. Hotchkiss tried to trick us when she was counting but we were too good. (Adalynn and Henry) I purposely made mistakes when counting (like double tapping, skipping an object, saying the numbers out of order, etc.) They did a great job noticing the mistakes!

We ate lunch. (Evalynn)

We drew and colored Caroline. (Maya)

We had snack time. (Abby)

We drew ways to fill a bucket and not fill a bucket. (Hayden) When our invisible buckets are full, we are happy; when they are empty, we are sad. It's important to know that we can fill our own bucket and so can others. We can also dip into it. "Bucket fillers" are those who help without being asked, give hugs and compliments, and generally spread their love and good feelings to others.

We read The Crayon Box That Talked. (Will C.)

Have a great night!!

Make sure to be promoting Grandparent’s/Special Friends day to your student’s grandparents! It is a fun event where they will be making a family tree craft with their grandchild. If your child does not have a grandparent available, then a “special friend” like an aunt, uncle, neighbor, etc. are great as well! Please let me know, if you know for certain, that your child will not have an adult available for the event and I will find one for them! Thanks!!

Have a great night!

There is a ME DOLL family homework activity in the folder for you and your child to complete together when you can get around to it! I will hang this on a classroom bulletin board when they are returned to me! I let the kids pick out their own skin color. I can’t wait to see them!

Have a wonderful weekend!!
