Hello!

After some technical difficulties with our camera we have pictures of our October birthday students and teachers! We are having a great time celebrating.

We have some fun events coming up including our Diwali celebration on Tuesday, October 28. Some of the parents in our class will be coming in to help with activities in the afternoon, we are looking forward to learning about other cultures in the classroom!

Our classes have been going well. In Reading and Phonics the Bear Cubs are doing quite well with their new Primer and Pre-Primer books. The Rockets are having equal success on the short "e" vowel books. Math currently entails Drops in the Bucket half sheets, salt tray numerals (numeral sequencing), calendar, story board problems, and fine motor one-to-one correspondence activities (moving objects and counting each one at a time). We have completed our Science section on Early Explorers and are beginning to learn about apples. We will start with learning the different kinds of apples as well as reading some apple stories (i.e., Johnny Appleseed). Mr. Clark will begin to work on a family tree, but in order to do so we need photos! ** Please check the homework assignments for this week at the bottom of the blog!!!

Thank you all for a wonderful back to school night. We both had a great time sharing what we do with your students!

Mr. Clark and Mr. Walker signing off...
