Good afternoon!

I hope you had a great weekend!

Hopefully you all received the sign-up genius invitation for our Dr. Seuss morning, this Thursday. From 9:30-10:15, you are welcome to join us in our classroom for breakfast and some enjoyable literacy time. I invite you to come in and read some Dr. Seuss books with your child. While I have some Dr. Seuss titles, I would greatly appreciate it if you have some Dr. Seuss books you could bring in with you. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I know some of you have already started gathering the necessary gear for our Winter Voyage. Here is the link to the packing list. The list does say no pillows, however, your child can bring one pillow and one small stuffed animal. Also, please have your child bring a book or two to read during down time. It's always a nice surprise for your child to find a note from you in his or her bag. Please consider writing your child a note and placing it in his or her pack.

In math, we are beginning to learn about fractions. Any time you have a chance to talk about fractions at home, this would be a great link between school and home. Meal times can be an especially useful time for discussing fractions.

In expedition, we are starting our second stand alone study. We will be learning about force and motion. We're also learning how to work as scientists.
