ANNOUNCEMENTS

📷 Picture Day: Tuesday, September 30th
The photographer always arrives first thing in the morning, so pictures can be taken before eating breakfast :-)

🍎 Field Trip to Treworgy Orchards
Wednesday, October 1st, we will be headed to Treworgy Orchards! Next week we will begin our study of plant life cycles and we will be learning all about apples and pumpkins this fall.  At Treworgy, we will be able to pick an apple, pick a pumpkin, feed the animals, and enjoy a tasty snack!
We will be leaving around 9:30 in the morning. We will pack our lunches to eat there and return around 2:30.  If you would like to join us there, please let me know, as soon as you can, so I can give Treworgy our numbers. School lunch will be peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and fluff. If your child usually has school lunch and you would like to send them with a lunch from home, please let me know so Ms. Katie can plan our lunches for the day- If I don't hear from you, I will sign them up for a bagged lunch.

OUR WEEK

In kindergarten math, we have been exploring shapes and patterns! We are just starting a unit on counting numbers to 5. Our first and second graders are both beginning units on exploring patterns in numbers and using place value.

All eight of our monarches emerged from their chrysalises this week.  It was so exciting to watch and release them!

This week we started our book bags. Everyone was very excited to take books home to read. I just love our classroom full of readers!

Ms. Louise joined us again, starting this week!  On Wednesday, she comes and listens to us read and plays learning games.  On Fridays, she brings crafts for us to do!  This week we made "stained glass" apples and bookmarks.
