Happy Halloween!!

We had a really fun day!  The kids were so excited to get to trick or treat together and loved seeing each other's costumes.  I love the holiday season and getting to experience these fun times through their eyes!  Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween!  

Fun Friday...Silly Playdough Monsters!!

Nocturnal Animal Study

We have talked all week about nocturnal animals...bats and fox specifically.  It's been a lot of fun to learn what the kids already knew about the animals as well as learn new things together.  

Scholastic Book Order Forms

I will be sending home book order forms tomorrow.  Please feel free to look through them with your child and if you choose to order any, they order is due by September 29th.  There are two ways to order.  You may send the money and the order form from the catalog to school OR you can go to

Happy Reading!!

Farm Animal Research

We had iPads today, so we used the time to do a little research on different kinds of farm animals.  They worked in pairs and wrote about the habitat, food, the animals body, and other fun facts.  This was a big project and they did awesome!!  I'm super proud of their hard work!!!  

Math fun!!

Center time!  Exploring addition concepts and number sequencing.

I wanted to share this post a colleague of mine shared on Facebook.  It has some really great tips on how parents can help their emergent readers with reading homework.  Please take them time to read and watch the video.  I think you will find it very helpful and make the homework a lot less intimidating for everyone:).
