A PEEK AT LAST WEEK
What a great week we had. A special thank you goes out to Val and Charlie Jahnke for sharing their vast knowledge of the Native American culture. They showed several of their unique artifacts, which the children were able to touch. What an amazing experience for all of us!

Our 50th day of school was a blast!! We enjoyed root beer floats, dancing, counting objects and making patterns, sounding out words, seeing the wonderful collection of 50 objects that the children brought to school, and searching for 50 candy kisses in the room. We also made a book called I Wish I had 50. The creativity of children always makes me smile! I will make a scrapbook of both of these events to share with you. It will work its way to each family. I hope you enjoy it.

CAN YOU GIVE 3-5 MINUTES PER DAY?
Please practice the high frequency words with your child each day. This will help your child be a strong reader. The children have them in their kiwi book bag. Please remember to send this back to school with their books. Thank you also for doing the 1 minute timings with your child. Keep up the great work! Together we make a strong support net for your child!

A PEEK AT NEXT MONTH
December will soon be here. We will be celebrating the season with fun themes and activities. We will be making a gingerbread house
as we learn about our 5 senses. We invite you to share this activity
with us. It will be on Friday, December 16, at 1:30 in our classroom. If you can not share this day with us due to a conflict, please ask a grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend to come instead. We hope to have a special someone for every child. Sorry, but we are requesting that each child have only 1 adult share this day with them due to room space.

Each child will need an ice cream pail with the cover and one can of white frosting. If you have 1 or more pails to share, send them to school as soon as possible so I can get a count of what we have. Further information will arrive next week.


Happy Thanksgiving
