Monday!!

On Monday we start our new literacy jobs.  They are usually tied to whatever letter we are spotlighting that week and always involve writing, and story-retelling, and reading, and creating.  Your children are getting So good at writing...I observe good ideas, punctuation, spaces between the words and capital letters at the beginning of those beautiful sentences!  Did you notice I said SENTENCES?!?!  Yes, they are brilliant!

Ms. DeSimone stopped by again to talk about "safe touching".  I hope all of you had a chance to go over her letter that came home on Friday.  Let me know if you have any questions!

In math we added a new work place - estimating sea creatures.  This is fun...you grab a big handful of small plastic sea creatures, write down your best guess and then count them out.  Then your friend gets to do the next round!  We love counting, comparing estimating and sorting!

 We had birthday cupcakes, the sun was out for recess, Mr. Ande came and hung out with us, we had a fun free-choice time and we ended our day with our favorite specialist....PE!!!!!
