Pajama Day Thursday, October 19th!

Dear Families,
Our class earned a pajama day. All students are invited to wear their pajamas to school tomorrow, Thursday, October 19th in celebration of being a totally awesome group.  Some students may not want to wear their pajamas and that is completely fine.  Students may also bring a small stuffed animal and/or a small blanket to use during reading time.  I hope you are having a wonderful week and THANK YOU to everyone who sent in snack. Your kindness is overwhelming.
Thanks for all you do,
~Donna

Classroom News October 10, 2017

Dear Families,

  

Welcome to a very short week of school.  You will be happy to know I updated the classroom blog with photographs of volcano making and our trip to the pumpkin patch.  It is extremely time consuming to keep track of every child who is posted in a photo, so if you notice your child is not in a series of posts, will you please let me know so I can focus my camera on your student?!?!  Many thanks.

Our studies this week focus on:

Math ~ Creating models, adding double digit numbers

Science ~ Volcanoes & Rocks continued

Reading ~ Putting a story in sequence & Building stamina while reading to self

Writing ~ Composition of a piece of writing, including what happens First, Next, and Last

I am so thankful to the families who are able to donate snack to our class. It means so much to our learning.  If you are able to donate snack during the month of October it really does make a difference.  Crackers, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, sugar free cereal such as plain Cheerios, Goldfish crackers, and Pretzels, are all good choices for class snack.

Thank you for the rock collections arriving at school.  We are not sharing our collections until Wednesday, so if you haven’t brought yours in, please do so as soon as possible.

We are going on our second field trip this Wednesday, October 11^th.  If you signed up to chaperone I will send a special email to you tomorrow with all the details.  If you did not sign up and would like to chaperone, email me as soon as possible. Don’t forget to send in a lunch if you selected to bring one from home. Also, Dress for the weather. It looks like it might rain. We will go, rain or shine! 

Finally, here are some dates to note in your calendar:

Thursday, October 12^th, NO SCHOOL ~ Camas Professional Development Day
