We had a good week in the Blue Pod. We want to thank Ed and Eli Westbrook's dad for visiting the pod and sharing about his work with Forest Fire Prevention. We have learned so much about trees in our AMSTI unit and having this visit from him and Smokey Bear really added to our learning and interest in caring for our trees and forest! Thank you, Mr. Westbrook!
We will continue our Fall Science unit this week with a focus on Apples. Please send in one apple with your child as soon as possible this week. We will use the apples in counting, graphing, and language enrichment lessons all week and we will end our week with an apple tasting party.
This week will also be our testing week for the end of the 1st quarter in our school year. Please make every effort to have your child ready to show how much they have learned these first nine weeks! Report cards will come home after Fall Break; report card day is October 16.
Enjoy your Fall Break from October 6 - 10! When we return, we will be moving in to the pumpkin season - always fun!
This week:
Oct. 2 - Shaved Ice at P.E. $1.50
Oct. 3 - National Walk to School Day - You are invited to join your child at P.E. (8:00 a.m.) to walk a specified course with your child. Join us if you can:)
Our first school fundraiser begins this week; your child will bring home info on Monday afternoon.
Have a good week and a great Fall Break!
