Check your child's backpack. Picture order forms went home today as well as fundraiser packets. Exciting news! Our class will walk to the fire station at 17th and Parkhill on Wednesday, October 7th for a tour. Our tour begins at 9am and will take 30-45 minutes. If any of you are available to come along as a chaperon, please email me.

Letter M day was mega-fun. It was music day, so students learned lots of fun songs. For morning literacy, we listened to groups of 3 words, 2 that started with m and 1 that didn't, to detect the sound that didn't belong. We read If You Give a Moose a Muffin and Sir Maggie the Mighty. At story time, we finished our first chapter book, Junie B. Jones and Meanie Jim's Birthday.

For math, students took turns "hiding" our two classroom mascots, Tattle Turtle and Red Panda. Students could not point to where the animals were hiding, but instead had to use math words such as behind, under, next to, etc.

After the one-minute speed reading activity, students drew "Mom and Me" at journal time. Some of you moms have really long legs! We roasted at recess, so many of us chose to sit in the shade and rest. It was a great day!!
