First, we had an exciting field trip to The Farm and Hillside Apple Orchard. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who helped the run smoothly while I was home with a sick little girl. We also had some awesome visitors from the Luxemburg Fire Department who came to talk to us about fire safety (see previous post).
Also, we had Open House where we got to have some great food, see our rooms, and maybe even win some prizes. It was great seeing all the parents and grandparents and everyone else the children wanted to show their room to.
Finally, we had our Halloween Social. Everyone had such awesome costumes! We went to our reading buddies' room and got to do some fun learning activites with them including an experiment where we got to make some monster slime! We also were able to go downstairs and watch a movie with popcorn.
We are looking forward to a lot of fun things happening in November. We will be finishing up our math chapter on 5 groups in the numbers 6-10 and will be starting our chapter on teen numbers next. We will continue to practice the numbers 1-10 and our dot-to-dots to practice number order.
Our first quarter will end next week and report cards will go home the following Thursday (17). It's hard to believe we are almost through our first quarter already!
With the colder temperatures, winter gym will be starting soon. Please make sure that your child has an extra pair of gym shoes at school to wear at the gym, if they do not already. With that being said, we also have a couple of outdoor winter gym days left. We have gym right away in the morning when it is still chilly. Please make sure your children have hats, mittens, and warm jackets for those chilly mornings. We have gym every Wednesday.
I don't know about you, but I sure am looking forward to Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy all the time spent with family and friends. We really have a lot to be thankful for!
