Update for Friday, October 1

Hello! This week we learned about the letter R. We painted rainbows, made rabbits, created rectangle robots, and began to learn more about patterns. Next week we will be learning about the letter T and our popcorn word is "my."

Notes and reminders:

--This evening is Homecoming! Stop by the parade to see lots of our students walking and throwing candy, and support our Warriors at the game tonight!

--Tomorrow is Fall Festival at South Elementary. It will be tons of fun--take the family for a great evening of games and food!

--If you would like to help out with our Halloween party and did not sign up before, please send me your name by next Thursday.

--We have lots of snacks that need to be eaten. If you are signed up to bring snacks, please don't worry about sending anything unless I send a note the Friday before. Thank you!

--We started checking out library books today. Make sure you read the letter in your child's folder for our library policy!

--Lots of you have been asking if there is anything we need for our classroom. I added a page to the website listing some things that we can always use in our room. I will be changing and adding to the list periodically, so if you'd like to help out during the year, make sure you check the list! On that note--we are making trail mix for T week next Friday and I could use some help with buying all of the food for it. If you'd like to send something in, just send me an email and I'll tell you what we need! Thanks so much!

--Thanks for all of your help with the homework this month. I appreciate you taking the time to help your kids with it each night. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve it, or if you think the assignments are too long or anything, please let me know! I am open to suggestions! The October homework was sent home today. If you forgot to return your child's homework folder today, please send it in on Monday so that you can get the new homework assignments. I will be returning all finished work from September on Monday.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
