Apples and Autumn!

Halloween:

• We will change into our costumes at 1:00.  Parade is at 1:30. Party will follow.
• The parade is outside unless it is raining.  If it is cold I will make your child wear any jacket you sent in.  Please (PLEASE!!) have this conversation with your child so that I am not making princesses and goblins cry when I try to keep them warm...  If you are okay with your child going out without a jacket, please send a note or be there for the parade.  
• No high heels, please.
• All parents are welcome to join the class for the parade and party!  Siblings are welcome. We cannot promise enough supplies for the siblings, but we will try to accommodate!
• No candy will be distributed at Irving School.  We will not send candy home with students.
•  Costumes should come to school labeled with your child's name on it.  If your child can wear the "base" pieces of the costume it helps when we all change into our costumes.  
• No weapons of any kind.  If you have to ask- please leave it at home.

This week we learned about apples and the apple tree.  We found the flower at the bottom of the apple and the seeds that were formed when bees brought pollen to the apple blossoms!   We had a taste test of the red, yellow, and green apples.  Red tasted best to our class with 10 votes, green received 6 votes, and 4 kids liked yellow.  Please send in an apple (or two or three)  on Monday or Tuesday for our Applesauce!  

Writing:  We worked on letter sorts and the routines that will help us hear the sounds in words when we write.  We wrote pattern books.  These books help us practice our sight words and help us put spaces between words.  

Reading:  This week we kicked off our reading unit that helps us use READING SUPER POWERS!  We activated our pointer power to help us point under each word as we read.  When we got confused we went back and re-read.  The kids love doing this so much they choose to do this during our indoor developmental play time!

Math:  We are practicing finding and naming our shapes in math.  We also continue to practice subitizing (knowing the number of objects without having to count them).
