Wonderful Wednesday!

We had a great day!
We started our time prepping for Donuts with Dad. After, we transitioned to reading groups where the kiddos worked on sight words, math, listening, segmenting sounds, and reading. After groups, we were able to go outside for a wonderful recess in the sun. We then did our calendar and Daily News routine. Next, we went to math, where the kiddos worked on creating and solving story problems. The students did a wonderful job listening and engaging in the activity. Lastly, we finished our opinion writing. The students have really built up their writing stamina, too! :) 

Important Information:
1. Take Home Books are due tomorrow! 
*If your child needs more practice with their book, return the book in their plastic envelope/bag so I can check off  that you have that book. 
* If the book was at an appropriate level of difficulty, but you are done with this book write on a sticky note: New Book 
*If your child could read this book in the first sitting and they know all the words, write on a sticky note: New Level.
**If a book doesn't have a sticky note, it doesn't get exchanged, just checked off.**
2. Donuts with Dad is TOMORROW - October 22nd from 8-9am. Dads DO need to stay with students until 9am. There is not an early drop off.
3. Just a reminder that the PTO and school calendars are linked on the side of the blog. All upcoming events are posted there and is a great resource.
4. Bring in any gently used costumes for our PV service project. Click HERE to read all about it
5. Our Halloween party will be Friday, 10/30/15 from 9:50-10:45 (am) and 2:00-2:55 (pm).
Just a reminder that if you'd like to help out with our party, please email me. Also, kinders wear their costumes to school. Costumes should NOT be scary (no blood, guts, etc.) and NOT include any sort of weapons. If you have specific questions about your child's costume, please feel free to email me.
6. We will have a Veteran's Day Assembly. The kinders will be singing two songs at the assembly. The assembly is on Tuesday, November 10th, at either 10 a.m. with our primary students (AM-K, 1, 2, and 3) or at 2:00 p.m. with our intermediate students (PM-K, 4, 5, and 6).
