Monday

     I hope everyone had a great extended weekend with their child/children. After the fun-filled week we had last week, I sure needed an extra day! I hope everyone has had a chance to look at our slideshows posted above from Fall Festival. If you have any pictures you're willing to share, please send them my way. You can give me a cd, or a usb drive with them on it or email them to me. Thanks in advance!
     This morning, our leader was Lindsay. Lindsay lead us through morning meeting and into literacy. In literacy workshop this morning, we practiced writing our first name. The children get a piece of paper with their name written out, then written out in dashed letters for them to trace. They trace them, then write their name on their own underneath. I've have a few of these to show you at your child's conference on November 9th.
     After fruit break, we had music class with Kim. Reading buddies (with Katie's class) soon followed. Today in reading buddies, Katie's class had a picture book and a piece of paper. They came up with a story with your child and wrote the words. We will continue working on this during reading buddies in upcoming weeks.
