Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We went to music. (Sylus)

We had some guest readers. They were Avery and Lauren. They read Green Eggs and Ham. (Owen and Evan)

We did lunch and went outside. (Logan, Dylan, and Lyrik)

We got to do math workstations. (Sophia)

We got to 100 Cougar Compliments! We are going to have a pajama party next week. (Andrew) We will do this Friday, Oct. 2nd. More information to come!

We got to do Listening to Reading. We listened to books on CD players. (JR)

We sorted the 3D shapes. (Connor and Dylan)

We got to do snack and Mrs. Hotchkiss read us a book about apples. (Ginger)

We got to learn the letter “t” on a new whiteboard. (Sophia) We are starting our new word study program called Fundations! This is how we will learn our letters and sounds.

We did all the Me Bags. We turned all the name pages into a book. We are taking the book home today. (James) The students have been working hard on these for weeks! We have been working on drawing realistic pictures, using 5 or more colors, adding details, and adding labels. You mind notice names towards the end of the alphabet are more detailed. This is because the students are growing in their abilities!

Mrs. Hotchkiss is going to hang up our name posters. (Sophia)

We did Echo the Owl and baby Echo. (Malai) This is part of our Fundations program. We are repeating the letter and letter sound!
