Our Resources for the week are: Monday- #1-18 ART and #19-36 MUSIC, Tuesday- ART, Wednesday- #1-18 in the classroom and #19-36 P.E. and Thursday- MUSIC. Wednesday is an Early Release Day. Thursday we will have a visit from Mrs. Noah Thomas, she is the librarian at the Webb Wesconnet Library. Friday is the Storybook Character Parade for K & 1 and the Vocabulary Parade for 2-5. (The parade is at 9:00. Parents are welcome to stop by and watch.) We are also having our Fall Activity stations on Friday afternoon. Thank you goes out to all the parents that sent in items to help make the day great!! Kinley S. will be bringing in Fun Friday Snacks for the class. ooh don't forget to say "Happy Birthday!" to Emily and Ryan!

**Continue to have your child practice writing their first name. We need to see the first letter as an uppercase letter and the remaining letters lowercase. Once that is mastered, begin the same process for the last name.** We still have quite a few students writing their whole name in uppercase letters. Please practice.

MATH

We are continuing to work on comparing groups. Our vocabulary is greater than, less than, equal to, more and fewer. Practice comparing two different groups with your child and asking them which has less. Then show your child one group and have them make a group for you that is either less than your group or more than your group. We will also focus on numbers 11 and 12.

ELA

(English Language Arts~ Reading and Writing)

The sight words we are focusing on are make, have, in and is. Our book for the week is The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams. We are practicing sequencing/ retelling stories that are read multiple times in class. Your child will be bringing home their retelling pieces at the end of the week so that they can tell you the story with them. :)
 Here is a video of the book.

SCIENCE

We will continue to practice sorting items by one attribute in different stations,. Plus we will make an entry in our journals about sorting pictures. Later in the week, we will begin discussing what matter is and the different ways we can change matter. Example paper~ fold it, crumble it, rip it, etc.
*We will not have Science on Wednesday because of our Early Dismissal time.*
