Can you believe it's October already?!
On Monday we will welcome our therapy dogs to our classroom. They will visit us many times during the school year. The dogs are very well trained and love to listen to the children read. Each child will get a turn to read with the dogs each time they visit. Ask your child all about it on Monday!
The students have new seats in the classroom to start the new month. We also have a new author of the month ~ Eric Carle! We will be studying the format of his books and perhaps creating some of our own in writing workshop.
This week we will be learning about fire safety. We will be discussing escape plans and hazardous materials. Please practice your fire escape plan at home and check your smoke alarm.
In math, we will be studying nickels. Each student should bring in ten nickels to use for counting money and for playing exchange games. We will also be learning about change to more and change to less number stories.
Thank you for practicing shoe tying! We have seven children in our class who have passed the shoe tying test!
