Hello Parents,

What a beautiful “weather week” we’ve had.…we’ve been enjoying all of the signs

of fall and the changes of the leaves. The weather’s been getting colder and a

jacket has been necessary for most recesses. And as the temperatures continue

to drop, they will most likely need heavy coats, gloves and hats every day. Please

let me know if you could use some help with any items for your child and we will

get them all set-up. If possible we will be taking another “fall walk” next week for

our studies of fall signs.

We reviewed our letter Ee from last week on Monday and got to watch grades

Kdg. thru 6th have their Bike Rodeo. It was very informative and I think they are all

excited to practice and enter the rodeo this time next year!! We also shared a few

more Family Jack-o-Lanterns and put them in our class pumpkin patch. In Social

Studies we are making a special book about us! They were fun to make and share

to help us learn more about our classmates. On Tuesday, we introduced our new

letter Ff and are finding that many things around us begin with Ff. Several shared

frogs, fire engines, and fish. We even got to watch a fun fish video, read about

Rainbow Fish and read some funny frog stories too. The FFA Chapter brought us a

pumpkin to enter in the Elementary Pumpkin Contest and guess what we’ve

selected as our design…Nemo, the fish!!

Our letter of the week next week will be Gg. Please have them choose something

and also look for a picture, label, ad, etc. of something that begins with G for

Clifford’s Reading Corner, (ex: goats, gum, grapes, gorilla, etc.) We will continue

to learn about the colors of fall and make different leaf shapes too. We are slowly

coming along with our cutting skills but I can see more confidence and neatness in

their work each day. Thanks for your support in helping at home!!

Please see the Jennifer and Jordy Miller fundraiser theme basket sheet coming

home, sign and return as soon as possible.

Have a great weekend!
