Hibernation and Migration

This week we talked about animals that migrate like birds and butterflies as well as those that hibernate like bear, squirrels, ladybugs, skunks, bees, and more!. We found out that there are some animals that are very hard to wake up and some that might wake up and eat a little during winter. This was a short week for the students so we did not have a letter to focus on but reviewed the ones that we have done so far. 

For the next two weeks we will be talking about Halloween and the letters Mm and Jj. 

With the colder weather, please be sure to send your child with a warm jacket, and possibly hat and gloves on those colder days. We are starting to work on zipping our coats by ourselves now too!

We have started working on the Reading Eggs and Math Seeds programs during our computer times. The login information I sent previously will work for both programs if you choose to utilize these at home. They are great game style programs that allow for the repetition of letters and numbers to help reinforce the sounds and appearance of them.

Reminders:
--Our first families being involved event will be Friday, Oct. 23rd at 9:00 for those families who have signed up.
--Picture retakes are Tuesday, Oct. 27th and Wednesday, Oct. 28th. If you want your child to have retakes done, please send in the original photo packet with them. Pictures will be taken right away in the morning. 
--Our Halloween parties will be on Wednesday, Oct. 28th and Thursday, Oct. 29th. Please do not have your child wear their costumes to school. We will be having our dress up and party time in the afternoon. If you choose to send a costume for your child to change into for the afternoon, please be sure it fits comfortably over their clothes. They will change out of the costume before going home. 
--There will be a pajama day on Wednesday, Nov. 4th and Thursday, Nov. 5th when we have our theme of "night time". They will be able to bring a stuffed animal this day if they choose to as well.
