The class was so excited to see all the snacks come in. The hard part for me was convincing them we couldn't eat it all in one day. Thank you so much for your contributions. I think we have enough for 2 months. I'll let you know when we need more.
We start our mornings every day with a paper called "Morning Work". You should have seen it come home last week. The class copies a message and then has some number work and coloring to do. I usually give them between 15 and 20 minutes to work on this so when you look at this paper, if it is mostly finished, it tells you your child is using their time wisely.
I read the book "One of Each" to the class today. Oliver Toliver is the main character and he learns how much fun it is to share with a friend. The writing assignment today was to draw yourself and a friend sharing something. Then they labeled the people and what they were sharing. You can ask your child about the labels and how they feel about sharing.
I sent a note home today asking for volunteers for homeroom moms. If you have any questions about what's involved, please ask me and we can talk about it.
Library books came home for the first time on Friday. Friday is our day to check out books. The kids can keep the book for 1 week and then check out another one. The books they are bringing home now are ones I would like you to read to them. I want them to hear good stories with rich language. In January, they will start bringing home books to read themselves. They will be able to start taking AR tests in January also.
Tomorrow I will send home a book order form. I encourage you to look through the selections and choose at least 1 to order. The kids get so excited about new books that they can keep.
