Our field trip to Patterson's Farm was so much fun!  Everyone did a great job being scientists and observing on the farm.  The students used their senses (seeing, hearing, touching, and smelling) to make all sorts of observations.

Many of our students have completed 5 Bubblegum Readers this quarter, but several have not.  Please read to/with your child and send in those Bubblegum Readers.  You can write down five books on any sheet of paper if you can't find the sheet I sent home.

I forgot to mention earlier this week that we are learning high frequency words.  This week's word is "see."  We have also learned the word "I."  Students are expected to read and write the high frequency words.  We also call these popcorn words because they "pop" up all the time in our reading and writing!

*Please send in the conference sign up sheet if you haven't*  Thank you for your help!

We are gearing up for a great week.  Our field trip to Patterson's Farm is tomorrow and we will be doing many activities throughout this week related to the field trip.

Our letter of the week is Mm!  Please have your child bring in something that starts with M for our display table (remember, it can be a drawing). 

Poem of the week:  5 Little Pumpkins

Song of the week:  Three Cool Mice  

Read Aloud Books of the Week:  If you Give a Mouse a Cookie; If you Give a Moose a Muffin         

Last week we had a wonderful time learning about Ss.  The students enjoyed reading Stone Soup and loved making stone soup.  From the results of our graph, we could see that most of the students liked eating stone soup as well!
