Dear Families,

Thank you so much to all of the parents that have already volunteered to be a chaperone for our field trip to Hanover Vegetable Farm on Friday, October 18th.  Since we are allotted only 4 chaperones, I decided to put those names in a hat to make it fair. I will send home a note in your child’s folder on Tuesday letting you know who was selected to ride the bus with us to the pumpkin patch.

We would love for everyone to come with us on the field trip, even if you are not a chaperone. You are welcome to follow the bus from school or meet us at Hanover Vegetable Farm. If you have not already paid your $9, you will need to pay when we get to the farm.

This week we enjoyed listening to scarecrow fiction stories. We worked really hard on explaining: How can you use the pictures to help your understanding? What is a prediction? How can I use the story to guess what will happen next? We also learned the letters:  i, l, and h and sight words he, can, and go. Math this week, we read and represented numbers to 5. Social Studies this week, we have had a blast learning about community helpers.

Please enjoy these pictures from our week:

Next week will be learning the following:

Reading:

Sight words: color words, like

Letters: v, x, w

We are going to be working on retelling stories using beginning, middle, and end. What happening at the beginning of the story? What happened in the middle of the story? What happened at the end of the story?

Math:

We are going to continue to learn how to rote count to 20.

Science:

We are going to learn about FALL.

Please read to your child or have your child read to you every night!

Thank you for all of your help at home.  If you have any questions, please email me!
