9-11- tribute



Student's pattern block designs





week of 9-12

Last week, the students made green, gold glitter geckos. The students ate dried green beans, graham crackers and green grapes.
In addition, last week the students shared about those who protects us. The students painted a star, either red or blue, and I wrote USA and 9-11-11 on them. Also, the students wore a yellow ribbon on their wrists to support the troops and first responders.

All volunteers (including parents) need to have their fingerprints on file in the office. Please plan ahead and have your fingerprints rolled if you are think you might be able to volunteer in the classroom or go on a field trip.

Mid-quarter progress reports are going home today. Every student needs reinforcement at home. Flash cards are a great way to practice letters, letter sounds and numbers.

Grandparent’s day is this Wednesday. Please fill out the attached paper so I may plan accordingly.

This week we will be studying:
• Letter Hh
• Counting to 25
• Identifying numbers 1-15
• Nursery Rhymes
