Mrs. Young ![]() October 18, 2012 Hello Parents, What a beautiful “weather week” we’ve had.…we’ve been enjoying all of the signs of fall and the changes of the leaves. The weather’s been getting colder and a jacket has been necessary for most recesses. And as the temperatures continue to drop, they will most likely need heavy coats, gloves and hats every day. Please let me know if you could use some help with any items for your child and we will get them all set-up. If possible we will be taking another “fall walk” next week for our studies of fall signs. We reviewed our letter Ee from last week on Monday and got to watch grades Kdg. thru 6th have their Bike Rodeo. It was very informative and I think they are all excited to practice and enter the rodeo this time next year!! We also shared a few more Family Jack-o-Lanterns and put them in our class pumpkin patch. In Social Studies we are making a special book about us! They were fun to make and share to help us learn more about our classmates. On Tuesday, we introduced our new letter Ff and are finding that many things around us begin with Ff. Several shared frogs, fire engines, and fish. We even got to watch a fun fish video, read about Rainbow Fish and read some funny frog stories too. The FFA Chapter brought us a pumpkin to enter in the Elementary Pumpkin Contest and guess what we’ve selected as our design…Nemo, the fish!! Our letter of the week next week will be Gg. Please have them choose something and also look for a picture, label, ad, etc. of something that begins with G for Clifford’s Reading Corner, (ex: goats, gum, grapes, gorilla, etc.) We will continue to learn about the colors of fall and make different leaf shapes too. We are slowly coming along with our cutting skills but I can see more confidence and neatness in their work each day. Thanks for your support in helping at home!! Please see the Jennifer and Jordy Miller fundraiser theme basket sheet coming home, sign and return as soon as possible. Have a great weekend! Mrs. Young |
