October Treasures

W

This long weekend would be a perfect time for your child to take a 'Phonebook Walk; in your backyard. Please get out any phonebook and go outdoors to look for leaves and pine needles. Students then press their nature findings into the pages of the phonebook for several days. When nice and flat and dry, students can put the leaves/pine needles into the provided baggy and return to school by Friday, October 14^th. We will be using these treasures to investigate and sort in our science curriculum and to use for a future art project.

Next Week we will be introduced to more word wall words to learn to read automatically, spell and use in our writing. Here is our list for the month of October:

Week of Oct. 3—play, he, she, the

Week of October 10—to, at, because

Week of October 17—are, of, it, is

Week of October 24—and, for, from, went, get

Week of October 31—very, came, had, they

Have a great long weekend with your child and we will be back in school together on Wednesday October 12^th.
