Hi Parents. I know that this is a bit late but I had an extremely busy Friday and weekend. Can you relate? J Last week we worked on adding new concepts to our morning calendar. We added telling time and counting by 2’s up to 20. The students are or already have grasped these concepts and we are looking at adding more things to our calendar time this next week.
Also last week we had a great time learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin. The students watched a video on how pumpkins grow and then we carved a pumpkin and cleaned out the inside of it. We talked about how each tiny seed is either a girl or a boy pumpkin and how the little tiny seed can turn into a gigantic orange pumpkin. A lot of the students were surprised to find out that a pumpkin first starts as a flower and then turns green and slowly turns in to the big orange pumpkins we see in the Fall.
We also had a special treat this week when Mrs. Richey came in and worked on a following directions activity and we made spooky spiders out of Oreos, licorice, and M&Ms.
Also last week we kicked off our one and only fundraising event of the school year: The Boosterthon Fun Run! Please log on to www.funrun.com with your child’s special access code and pledge to sponsor your child for the Fun Run! Please make sure that your child wears their Fun Run jersey on Thursday!
Next week we will have a special presentation for our students with NED. Please click the link for more information. www.theNEDshow.com
November 7th is our Special Olympics Bowling Competition. Please make sure your child has turned in their permission slip. Also, if you have a medical release form that needs to be returned, please do this ASAP or your child will not be able to participate.
Have a great week!
