Sept. 24 - Sept. 28
This past week has been filled with fun fall activities! The
students got to pick two leaves to decorate with markers in the classroom. Once they were finished, we sprayed
them with water to make an awesome design! After the leaves dried, I hung one in the classroom and the
other one is displayed in the hallway!
The students love walking into the room and seeing everyone’s artwork.
On Wednesday, we discussed the five senses and brainstormed
ideas about what fall feels like, tastes like, smells like, and hears like and
what it looks like. I enjoyed
writing their ideas on the board and listening to the different things that
they came up with. We then wrote
our ideas on yellow, orange, and red leaves, and cut them out. They look awesome hanging in the
hallway outside our door!
Looking ahead to next week! Oct. 1st - Oct. 5th

Parent/Teacher
On-Line Conference Sign up
On Monday, October 1st, I will be sending out a
link to my on-line parent/teacher conference sign up. I have scheduled times to meet parents after school on
Monday, Oct. 29th and Tuesday, Oct. 30th. Please make sure to click on the words
“sign up” and then write YOUR child’s name in the comments section in the
preferred time slot. If you have
any trouble please let me know and we can figure it out together!
Looking Ahead:
- Our new author of the month for October is Lois Elhert. She writes simple fiction books, but also includes details and information about nature. Her books touch on birds, flowers, trees, etc. As a class we discuss how these books include both genres of fiction.
- We will begin our Exploration Stations unit on “The Settling of America.”
- On-line Parent/Teacher Conference Scheduling will begin Monday, October 1st at 9:00am.
