Dear Parents,
This week we talked about seasons
and fall. We talked about many things
that go along with fall – the weather, how things look outside, how leaves
change colors, and how animals begin to prepare for winter. We walked outside and looked around for signs
of fall and collected some fall leaves.
Then we discussed how the leaves don’t change color in the fall they
actually turn back to their original color because the leaf stops making chlorophyll. Then we talked about properties of leaves and
looked at some of the different leaves.
We learned some new words like migration and hibernation with
animals. In math, we worked on sorting
leaves, learned the words wide and narrow, and worked with patterns. We have had a busy week. We had some community helpers visit us
today. The kids got to see the police,
fire, and ambulance workers.
Each month
we will celebrate a different character award.
These will follow our school values.
At each 9 weeks awards assembly for the traits we have been over, the
students will get an award from the school.
We will do 1 trait each month.
September’s trait was respect and for October we will have
communication. At the end of the month,
I will give our winner a little certificate and recognize them for the student
of the month. Our first award goes to
Hung for our value respect for the month of September. Congratulations to Hung.

Reminders
- Keep
sending in those box tops and other labels.
- Don’t
forget to send in your 3 different kinds of apples on Monday. There is a sheet that was sent home
about it this week.
- I
would like each student to send in a bag of Halloween candy. It can be any kind just be sure it’s
items that are individually wrapped you can send it in anytime next week
or the week of Halloween.
- Don’t
forget if you want to order a Happy Meal for our Halloween celebration you
can send the $3.50 in as soon as you want.
- I have
several that have not turned in money for the Scholastic magazines that I
ordered at the beginning of the year and the $10 or $10 gift card to
Walgreens for the photo developing.
All that money is due by Monday October 13th. Please let me know if you need to know
if you paid or not. I do have a
list.
- You
may have noticed that the Handwriting letters for homework do not match
the ones that are mentioned on the newsletter for the next week. This is because I teach them in class
that week about those letters, so then the next week they should know how
to properly write them. So the
letters they ae doing on Monday’s for homework they have been taught in
class how to write. I just wanted
to make sure there wasn’t any confusion about that.
Dates:
Monday October 13th: Return books for
Book-In-A-Bag
