November 14-18, 2011

We had a very busy week - it all started with a visit from Olive the Storyteller! The children love listening to Olive's stories - ask your child to tell you which was his/her favorite. Last week the children were introduced to the High Frequency Word "the". This week, the children have been coming up to us and pointing out the word "the" in the books they are reading...perhaps you have noticed this as well?  "I" and "see" were introduced this week. An extra copy of the book came home to be read to you. Also, a copy of Stone Soup went home and we read and compared 2 different versions in class as well (one by Marcia Brown and one by Jon Muth). We will be making our own "Stone Soup" on Monday with the ingredients you send in - thanks for your participation. The children were very excited to learn that they will be chopping and measuring the ingredients in our brand new kitchen to which we had a formal dedication on Friday and celebrated with cookies and milk for the entire school!

We noticed this week that the children have been doing an excellent job writing their numbers.

We ended the week with a Thanksgiving art project to help decorate your home!

Apologies to those who came on Friday to hear the Kindergartners read their "Go Make A Difference" poster. Although it was scheduled to happen on Friday, Nov. 18th, it took place on Thursday the 17th. We've posted it up outside the classroom for you to take a look.
