50's Day and our Halloween parade and party were so much fun!  Please see previous posts for lots of fun pictures.  I do believe you can print from the blog.  A big, Thank you, to all of the mom helpers that made both days fabulous.  I could not do any of these fun things without your help.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We do have a  big event coming up this month.  For Thanksgiving, I do not have a huge feast because I feel that this is a very busy time for families and I do not want to add any stress during the holidays.  I do, however, want you to enjoy your precious kindie singing songs and reciting poetry and performing a "Classic," Thanksgiving play.  You are in for a real treat!  On, Tuesday, November 22, at 10:30, we would like to invite you to our Thanksgiving Performance.

Where?  Our classroom
When?   10:30 - 10:55
Who?     moms, dads, siblings and any out of town guests you might have
Why?     Songs, Poems and a Play

Also, on November 22, please send your child to school with a baggie with a dry ingredient for adding to our Chex Mix.  Examples of items to send in a bag:  chex mix, pretzels, m & m's, raisins, dried cranberries, popcorn, small marshmallows, chocolate chips, goldfish....but please remember, NO NUTS.  We will mix this together in a big bowl and have our own Thanksgiving feast.  We will sort it, count it, and then of course, eat it!

I can tell that you are reading with your kindie at home and he/she is making huge strides of improvement in his/her reading.  Treasure this time with your child because it is truly magical watching him/her
learn to read.  What a gift.........

Our special this week was music, next week we will have p.e.

In math we are counting by 2's and 5's.
