A big, warm welcome to Albert who joined our class today. We worked on the letter and sound for R. In math, students sorted blocks by one attribute (all yellow, all circles, etc.). We read Sheila Rae the Brave about a mouse who becomes not-so-brave when she gets lost on her way home from school. Our Star of the Day was Joe P. Joe has one brother, some cats, loves beef Top Ramen, and likes the colors blue and pink. I forgot to mention it in the newsletter that went home today, but if you want to order any books from the Firefly order form and don't want to order online, please send the paper form and cash (no checks) to school. I want to hold onto the order for about a week to see if we can accumulate a $200 order.
