 Our home page features updates about our weekly adventures in the JK class!

Happy Fall Break! I so enjoyed meeting with everyone this week and hearing about all your fun Fall Break plans. If you would like, feel free to send a couple pictures of your family fun and we will have a little show and tell with them next week! Also, some of you saw our family picture wall and realized you did not send one on. Please feel free to do so if you like; we are slowly but surely working through those so I would be happy to add yours to the wall and make sure your kiddo gets an opportunity to talk about it!

I really did enjoy meeting with each and every one of you for conferences and discussing your awesome kiddo's. There is always a lot to go over and take in so please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions about anything discussed or not discussed in our meeting. Happy to help and answer questions anytime!

This week, we did get to the letter M and our full page letter review (E F B D P R M N). We also did a quick ten frame worksheet. We counted the leafs in a ten frame and circled 'how man' right below that ten frame. Some of us worked ahead or got confused as to which numbers went with which ten frame so you may notice some incorrect answers. No worries, we went over it together in class. We also drew 'leaf letters' out of our leaf pile, identified them, said the sound and wrote them on our leaf letter sheet. Lastly, today we gathered leaves on our walk around the neighborhood and did 'leaf rubbing'. It was the last activity we did right before dismissal, so we were very tired and ready to go home. Needless to say, there were more tears in this activity then i expected but I was really proud of how they turned out (even if they were not). 

Next week, will be a short week as we return on Wednesday. I am not sure what all we will get into but we will absolutely tackle a few things despite it being a shorter week. I believe most everyone turned in their field trip forms, but if not, please send them in on Wednesday. We will celebrate 2 birthdays when we get back (one on Wednesday and one on Thursday) so that each kiddo gets to be the focus that day. We will also have a compliment party on Friday next week. It will be a 'no shoes', movie and doughnut party. They all gave me very extensive doughnut orders so hopefully they won't be too disappointed with just chocolate, glaze and maybe a few pink icing ones. 

I can't wait to hear (and hopefully see some pics) all about fall break next week. Sage was ready for her break and told me that it had been '20 years' since her last vacation. I told her it was about time to take one then! God bless, safe travels and I will see you all Wednesday!
