Dear Parents,

For a short week, we accomplished a great deal!  Miss Darien was so surprised by our little send off for her on Friday.  She especially loved the pictures the children made. Thank you very much for helping your child write his/her thoughts.  Their sweet and genuine thoughts touched Miss Darien's heart!  Mrs. Offutt laminated the pictures and bound them to make a book.  She did a beautiful job!  Miss Darien now has a great keepsake from her 7 weeks in K-A.  

As you know, conferences are on 10/21 or 10/25.  These are half days of school.  Please be on time to your scheduled conference.  I am only able to give a 15 minute conference/family and if someone is late, that backs everyone up.  Thank you for understanding.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

-Kindergarten and Pre-K will be having our Fall Festival on Thursday 10/21.  We will be doing some fun outdoor events on this morning.  Please have your child wear play clothes on this day.  Snack and water will be provided.  Monday, 10/ 25 will be our rain date.  

This week in K-A:

Language Arts- Our essential question this week was "What kinds of work do people do?"  We have begun our 1 letter a week part of our Language Arts program.  This week, we focused on the letter "M".  The children worked in their handwriting book and focused on the beginning sound of "m" in a word.  We added another word to our word wall.  Next week is a review week and we have some fun things planned.  We will work on another letter but there will be no new word wall word.
Math-   We focused on the concepts of "greater than" and "less than".  Greater than proved to be a bit challenging but by the end of the week, the class had a better understanding of the concept.
Religion-  We finished the chapter titled "God gave us the gift of land".   
Science- Our essential question this week was: "How do animals grow and change?"  While we mentioned other animals such as frogs and how they change in their development, we are specifically discussing bats.  We will continue our discussion into the beginning of next week.  
Social Studies-  We began learning about rules and laws.  We discussed rules at home and rules at school.  We touched upon consequences when rules are broken.  This became a lively conversation.

Have a nice weekend!
