Sound of the week:
FSound Monster:
This Friday, October 7th, 2016, we will be feeding the Sound Monster. Please send in 1 item (a toy, a book, a picture, etc. ) that begins with the "f" sound on Friday. The item will be returned to your child at the end of the day. Many of the children feel left out when they do not have an item to feed the Sound Monster on Fridays. If you cannot find an item, you can have your child draw a picture and write the corresponding word. Some ideas for the "f" sound include: fish, fire, four (4), flower and finger.tomato and two (2).Number of the Week:
# 3Important Information:
Pizza lunch and bake sale:
On Monday, October 3rd, 2016 Good Shepherd School will host its first pizza day and bake sale at lunch. Please note there is no need to pre-order the pizza. Simply have your child bring in his/her money and the lunch monitor and I will assist the children. There is the choice of cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza. Each slice of pizza costs $2.50. Juice boxes are available for $1.00. The children can purchase a dessert from the bake sale as well. Please take note that the school cafeteria will be closed on this day, therefore please send your child to school with a lunch if he/she will not be purchasing pizza. Also, please send in a MORNING SNACK as usual, as the children will not be able to purchase items at recess from the bake sale.

Thanksgiving Breakfast:
On Friday I sent home a letter regarding Good Shepherd School's Thanksgiving breakfast (which is a school wide activity). Families are invited to eat breakfast with our class and the school community on Wednesday, October 5th, 2016 from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM in the gym. I have asked all of the children to bring in a contribution for the breakfast. Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! :)
* Be sure to check the photos tab for new pictures of the children :)
* I have added new pictures to the September Workstations link, More Math link, Apple Activities link and a new picture of Abdulhadi (who was absent last week) to the Mrs. Anna's Kindergarten Munchkins link as well.
* I have posted the new October family project
If you have not sent in your child's 3 apples, please do so as soon as possible. We have many fun activities planned related to apples. Please send in a red apple (a Red Delicious or McIntosh), a yellow apple (Golden Delicious) and a green apple (Granny Smith). We will use the apples to make apple sauce this Friday and for a taste test as well as some Science and Math lessons.
* Please note that my usual Thursday teaching partner, Mrs. Anna-Maria Nicolov is off on leave for the next 8 weeks. Ms. Brittany Connell will be replacing her during her absence.
LIBRARY:
Library begins next week. The students will visit the library with Ms. Alexis on Thursdays.
SCHOLASTICS BOOKS:
Last Friday I sent home the September orders that arrived. If you are ordering books as a surprise or present for your child, please let me know and I will send home your order in a sealed envelope for you. I am sending home the flyers for the month of October this week. Each order helps earn free books for our classroom; however there is never any obligation to order. The deadline to return the order form is: Friday, October 14th, 2016.

The dark blue and light blue duo-tangs will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday.
