Dear Parents,

I hope that you had a wonderful long weekend and are ready to take on the rest of the week.  

Just a few quick things that I wanted to share with you…

Just a reminder that our latest book orders are due NEXT Monday.  Happy shopping! Speaking of shopping, I picked out 20 more books to add to our classroom library from the Meemic/Scholastic grant that I received! So exciting! 

We started our Health Unit!  Did your firstie tell you?  We learned about how much fruit we should be eating throughout the day (quiz your firstie) and on Friday, I brought in some different fruits for the class to try. 

Papaya....look at all those seeds!

Passion Fruit

The inside of a Passion Fruit...do you know what part you are supposed to eat? 

This is an "Apple Pear".  It was mild and good, but so strange!

This guy was so BRAVE and tried EVERYTHING!

She wasn't so sure....but she tried it!

 Ask your firstie which fruit they tried and which they liked.  So FUN!  I also would ask that you encourage your kiddo to TRY new things because our tastes change as we get older.  I am going to be bringing in veggies, different kinds of grains, and dairy products for them to try in the next few weeks. 

In Art class, the firsties have created “Selfies” or their Self Portraits!  Check them out in the hallway, close to the Gym.

On Friday, we had another Pep Assembly, which featured our cheerleaders and basketball teams.  So fun!  We have three firstie girls that are cheerleaders and they are doing a great job!  

Our 100th day of school is coming up!  Please watch for some things to come home that have to do with this special day, very soon! 

Don't forget about our mission of the month "Beacon of Hope".  Fill up the baby bottles and bring them back to school.  Thanks!

 

Finally, because of our days lost last week and the fact that we didn’t have school today, we are NOT going to be having spelling this week.  I am pushing spelling back a week.   Memory will be the same, so please make sure that your kiddo is preparing for this test on Friday.  Take home story bags are coming home tomorrow and you might recognize the books (They are the same books as last week!).  Please practice the books again and send them back by Friday.  

Blessings on your week!
