I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend with the help of the snow day on Friday. Snow days can be fun, but we also miss lots of activities and work planned in class.

The Christmas concert is this Tuesday. There is one at 11:00am and one at 4:30pm. It would be great if your student could make it to both times 🙂 Students can wear whatever they like, some like to dress up, some like to wear holiday clothing and some just prefer regular clothes. It's totally up to you and your student! Please have students at school by 4:10 the night of the concert.
Math: We will continue looking at the numbers 1-10, different ways to represent them, counting backwards and breaking them into groups. We will be manly focusing on patterns for a while 🙂

Hi families,
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. It's definitely starting to feel like fall. Please remember to label jackets and hats, they seem to magically travel around the school! This week I will be sending home extra clothes so they can be replaced with clothes that are appropriate for the colder weather that is settling in.
Our class is becoming such a little community, lots of teamwork, sharing and big smiles. I'm so prooud of how far everyone has come already. It's hard to believe how much they've grown in such a short amount of time.
