We will be doing a fun follow along/re-enactment of the brilliant book: The Polar Express on Friday. 

There is nothing I need you to do, but the children are allowed to wear (school appropriate) pajamas/slippers/robes that day. They also may bring a small stuffy (that would fit into their backpack)  for that day. 

We hope to have a lot of fun and adventure as we act out this classic! 

Merry Christmas to all and BELIEVE~

My Son, Patrick

Thank you Veterans!

A turkey project has come home with your child this week- wrapped as a scroll. Have fun creating together and please send it back in when finished~

Also, the PTA is holding their Incognito Turkey contest again this year! Your student should receive a turkey paper and should disguise it to keep it from being eaten on Thnksgiving. What fun!!!

A bit of help that I need... please assist your child by making sure there are no toys or other distractions in their backpacks or pockets. We have had many instances of students "giving, trading, sharing, lending" items and we honestly don't have the time for those distractions in our day. I really need your help with this and I thank you in advance. 

With parent/teacher conferences and report cards on the horizon, we have started a whole lot of assessments. I can't wait to share the results with you! 

We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)

Upcoming Events: 

November 11- Veterans Day Observed- No School- THANK YOU, VETERANS!

November 25 & 26- 1/2 Days of School-Parent Teacher Conferences on the 25th

Rabbit! Rabbit! Happy November!

It was nice to be able to spend the entire week at school! Lots of fun and excitement leading up to the Halloween adventure. I hope it was fun and safe and full of creepy activities. 

I was out last week because my mom was diagnosed with cancer this summer and she had a surgery as well as several smaller procedures last week so I was her caretaker. I am still watching over her, but she has been able to be alone for these hours during the day. Wanted to let you all know that information in case your student is telling you I am not at school. I'm trying. 

We have enjoyed a plethora of fall and Halloween books. We made a long study of: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly . Who knew there were so many versions of this old classic? The students all really enjoyed all of the things that she ate and trying to rhyme along with the story. 

In math we are working with subitizing, sorting, ten frames, counting by 10s, recognizing numbers through movement, formation of numbers, addition practice and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school, tally marks, odd/even, patterns, money, and ten frames. 

Our 1st Go2Mission of the school year (Is there evidence that dinosaurs lived in the Bighorn Basin area of Wyoming? Was Deinonychus there?) has concluded. We decided as a class that the hypothesis was true. We found a tooth belonging to deinonychus and also a great deal of dinosaur fossils along the way. Our 2nd mission will be after our Christmas break! Stay tuned~

Don't forget that pesky setting your clocks back this weekend!!! Yikes~

This was a winter picture, but so pretty! 

We have enjoyed a week full of fire safety and even got to meet a real firefighter and parametic! We were able to look at a fire truck and an ambulance! So fun!!! Students learned about 9-1-1, Stop, Drop, Cover, and Roll, Get Low and GO, Replace batteries in smoke detectors, and NEVER touch matches or lighters. Let's all stay safe!  

We started our Bridge to Writing program and there is a paper with a review of this new curriculum  enclosed. So far, so fun!

Our Go2Science mission continues as we keep looking for clues to support our hypothesis in Wyoming. Beth and Curtis sure are giving us a lot of information and finding so much evidence for us to be thinking about. Fossils of bones and teeth, along with other clues appeared this week. We even had an experience with erosion! We only have 2 weeks left and still haven't had a sign of deiononychus... yet...Will we find evidence that he was there?

We are finishing up our "Reveal" math pilot this week and next and will begin Everyday Math at the conclusion of this math pilot. We have been working on numbers and sets to 5, problem solving, comparing and contrasting, following oral and visual directions, and basically learning to LOVE MATH!

We had a FABULOUS trip to Rocky Ridge Orchard and had a delicious apple and doughnut. We picked up a small pumpkin and will paint it in art class next week! The hay ride was so much fun. We also brought home a bag of apples and will make a warm applesauce next week.  Thank you for those who were able to join us on this grand adventure! 

Books Read: Mr. Brown's Magnificent Apple Tree,  There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.  The Big Apple, and the song-A-P-P-L-E

 (which is sung like "Bingo)

In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, 10 frames,  finger counting, working with shapes and continuing our calendar routines.
