Night Time

This week our theme was "Night Time" and we had a lot of fun with our Pajama Day where we had a special snack and movie time to see Monster's Inc. We learned about how some animals come out at night to find food or to stay out of the hot sun in the deserts. We also talked about all the fun things people can do at night like roast marshmallows, look at the stars, or watch fireworks. We made a raccoon and an owl and created another class book all about what we like to do at night. We also focused on the letter Kk and the number 1. 

Next week our theme is "Scarecrows". 

Reminders:
--Quarter 1 ends next week-report cards will come home soon. Please remember the goal is for our students to have "B's" (meeting benchmark) at the end of the school year. We still have a long way to go in our year to continue working on skills. 
--Please be sure to send snow pants, warm gloves/mittens, coats (thicker than sweatshirts), and boots with your child for recess. Also, please be sure each item is labeled with your child's name. 
--MAES is hosting a fall festival Thursday, Nov. 9th. There will be food, games, and prizes. RSVP slips should be sent as soon as possible to be sure we have enough food for everyone.
