Hi Parents!

Sadly, we ran out of time for closing meeting today! Today, we started 2 new Fundations letters: p and j! We wrote about our weekends for Monday News. We talked a lot of safety and ways we can be safe in our neighborhoods, cars, parks, school, bus, etc. We read a new poem about safety and read a book called Safety Counts! We also watched a short informational video on ways we can be safe. We have been working hard during Daily 5 and learned our last 2 Word Work games! We discussed different ways we can represent the number 2 in math. For example, we talked about 2 tally marks, second place, 2 o’clock, 2 friends, 2 on a dice, etc.

Friday is our fall celebration with books! Kids are welcome to dress up as their favorite book character! If you signed up to read on Friday, I will be contacting you shortly! I am waiting to hear back from a couple parents before I can finalize times. Thanks so much!

Please read over the behavior updates tonight and return them tomorrow in your child’s folder with your initials and comments! Sorry for the mistake on Friday! Please return the Parent Teacher Conference scheduling form as soon as you can. Thanks!!!

Field Trip Volunteers: If you signed up to be a parent volunteer for the field trip tomorrow please bring a blanket for the kids to eat on during our lunch picnic if you can! Due to supervision and safety of the Kindergarteners, siblings are NOT allowed on the trip

Due to limited space on the buses parents will need to drive their own vehicles (or carpool). Parents will be responsible for supervising small groups of children and helping to keep “law and order”.  All children will ride the bus to be considered “present” at school.

October 31^st is our fall celebration with books! I would love to have some parent guest readers come in on this day! This could be a favorite book from home or one available from our classroom library. If you are available and would like to read to our class on this day, please fill out the following survey! Please have this filled out by this Friday, October 24^th at the very latest so I can plan accordingly! I will contact parent readers early next week with more details on the event!
