Fantastic Friday!

The weather was so beautiful on Friday that we celebrated with "Fantastic Friday" extra recess! It was warm enough that jackets were not needed! As you'll see in the pictures, the kids had fun running around, playing soccer, practicing cartwheels and playing on the playground. All in the warm sunshine! What a great way to end a busy week!


Thinking about this warm weather it reminds me that it won't last! We'll be getting snow soon and for recess children need to be prepared for snow with boots and snow pants as well as jackets, hats and mittens. They leave their boots out in the hall so please try to remember to include shoes for the day. If you'd like to have your child leave a pair of shoes at school, that might be a good way to make sure your child has inside shoes every day!

Our current math unit has math "games" that reinforce the memorization of math facts. One of the games is similar to the one you played this weekend for homework. The following pictures show some children playing a few of the games they've learned in this unit!


On Wednesday there will be another Fundations unit test. This time the unit will assess words with the welded sounds -all, -an, and -am. Just like I shared at our parent/teacher conferences, the assessment also includes sentence dictations. I think they're nearly ready and should do well on this assessment, too!
