Happy Monday! The class picture is displaying the children celebrating the end of unit 1 in Reading Workshop. They recorded themselves reading aloud on our new i pod.
The next pictures show, our Tasty Bug, we made this afternoon. Be sure to ask your child about this nutritious snack. They will be able to teach you how to make one. Today was Johnny Appleseed's birthday, and we discussed his travels, and planting many apple seeds along the way. We also completed a computer project that covered the seasons of an apple tree.

Please continue practicing nickel and penny coin combinations. We are also counting many pennies, and substituting as many nickels for the groups of five pennies, as we can.
We will be spending time with Mrs. Peck on Wednesday, while she dissects the sheep brain.
On Thursday Dr. Burke will be teaching us about the skeleton, while on Friday, Dr. Carmack will discuss the eye with us.
Robust Vocabulary: aid, sweltering, persistent, invigorated, horrible, presented
The students will be checked on all of their word cards this week. I will clear the words they know, and send them home. Please keep them in a place where the students can refer to them for spelling.
We will begin our service project on Monday October 3rd. Our service project will be with the SPCA. We have lots of fun activities planned, as well as an item drive and field trip. Our character education focus is kindness. More information will follow. Have a great week. We will!
