FSound Monster:
This Friday, October 6th, 2017, 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).*** Over the past two weeks, many students have FELT LEFT OUT when they did not have an item from home to feed the Sound Monster. The Sound Monster is always on Fridays (unless there is a PED. DAY). Thank you for your support and cooperation. ***

Families are invited to eat breakfast with our class and the school community on Wednesday, October 4th, 2017 from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM in the gym.

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 continue to have your child practice writing his/her name EVERY DAY. Please use the name card that was given to you on Meet the Teacher Night and have your child use lower case (small) letters for his/her name as opposed to all capital letters. Thank you!
