Book Orders and Snowboots

Just a few things..

Book orders came home today in Wednesday folders! But there was not a due date on them. If you log into scholastic, our class code is MCN7Q and the due date for these orders is January 14th!

We try to go outside for recess every chance we get, but obviously that can't happen if it's freezing outside! But when we do go outside, I always tell the kids they have to have two pairs of shoes to be able to go into the snow.

That might mean a pair of snow boots and a pair of tennis shoes, or two pairs of tennis shoes, etc. I know not everyone has snow boots, but if they wear boots to school, and then wear those outside, when we come back in and sit on the rug then they are soaked, our carpet is soaked, and they are uncomfortable! So we just say bring two pairs of shoes!

If you have any questions, definitely let me know! Happy almost Friday!

Apples, Fire Safety, Book Orders

We had a ton of fun this week in Kindergarten! We learned all about apples and launched an Apple Investigation about each kindergarteners own apple. They determined the color, how much it weighed, and how tall it was. They also got to taste test a bunch of different apple flavored things included apple sauce, apple juice, apple pie, apple gum, apple bread, and their own apple! They kept track of the things they liked and didn't like on their Apple Investigation sheet. We also learned about Johnny Appleseed and made hats to wear like he did.

We also got to go outside to do apple activities like rolling an apple down the slide into a bucket, apple races, and pinning an apple on the tree!

On Friday, Firefighter Kyle also came to school! He taught us lots of things about fire and how to stay safe. We practiced crawling below smoke, feeling the door, and got to see him put on all his equipment and learn what everything does. We had lots of good questions for Kyle!

Thanks for such a great turn out at Parent Teacher conferences! It's great to get to talk to all of you about your child! 

Don't forget:

• No School on Monday and Tuesday (October 14th and 15th) for Fall Break
• Book Orders are due this Friday - October 18th 

I hope you have a wonderful few days off!
