Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe October is half way over already! We had a wonderful trip to the Franklin Park Zoo yesterday. It was a wonderful way to kick off our unit on mammals and other animals.
The children have spent time working on their individual innovations of Mom and I went to the Zoo. They are working very hard on their illustrations, which are looking more and more like the animals they want them to be.
We started our second topic in math. We have been comparing numbers 0-5. The students enjoyed learning how to play the game of Compare with number cards. They are getting more comfortable with the number formations. I will continue sending homework home during the next couple of weeks so they can continue practicing them.
The students also made costumes for the bears they painted and cut out. They were quite creative as they made their bears into superheroes, princesses, and many other Halloween characters. I will post pictures next week after all the glue has dried!
We will be going to the library on Wednesday. Please be sure to have your child return his/her book by then. Also, please make sure you read and return our class books as soon as possible too.
Please consider practicing shoe tying and coat zipping at home. It will save a considerable amount of time in the classroom…especially getting ready for recess! Also, don’t forget to label water bottles, lunch boxes, coats, sweatshirts, and other clothes items. We have been doing a lot of detective work trying to figure out what belongs to who! Thanks!
Have a great weekend!
Melanie Duncan
