Finally we get to celebrate FALL! We are learning about the seasons and taking fall walks. We had a great trip to the Hanover Pumpkin Farm. The students were so excited to pick their own pumpkins! Stay tuned for pictures next week!

In math we are continuing to practice counting to 20 and writing numbers. They love counting. See how high your child can count!

In language arts we are retelling stories using the beginning, middle, and end. We continue to learn letters and sight words each week!

We are in need of treasures for our treasure chest. If you would like to donate, please send in bouncy balls, bubbles, any small toys, or McDonald toys. Also I will be putting in tickets that the students may pick from. Some examples are: Stinky feet (take your shoes off in the classroom!), Write in pen all day!, Bring a stuffed animal to school day! 10 minutes of extra computer time!   I know the class is going to love these choices when they go to the treasure chest! Also thanks for your donations! 

Have a wonderful weekend!
