Science,conferences and Thanksgiving........

Today we had some Egg-cellent egg-speriments!!! Thank you parents for your participation, the kids really enjoy science day. I love it because with your help everyone can be hands on. It can be hectic, messy (and loud) and you all are so patient with the children. As we have found, sometimes our egg-speriments work and sometimes they don't. That's the beauty of science. But in the end we always have fun!

On a side note, At conferences someone asked me for another copy of the letter formation sheet. I wrote down that I needed to make a copy, but forgot to write down who needed it. Please send me a note if you need one. I apologize for the delay.

Thanksgiving is coming and we have started talking about the Pilgrims and Indians and their first feast. We will begin their Thanksgiving book Wednesday. It is one of my favorite activities. We have also been discussing what we are thankful for, we have so many thoughtful students in our class. You should be very proud of them. They are wise beyond their years!
Have a great evening!

Also thank-you for your continued support at home. Keep practicing popcorn words, and numbers. The new popcorn words will come home next week.
If you haven't returned your report card envelope please remember to sign it and send it back to school with your child.
Have a nice weekend!

Science Day... Egg-cellent egg-speriments!!!!

Tuesday is our third science day. It is one of my favorite science days of the year. We will be studying eggs. We test their strength, discuss their shells, and look inside. We also explore how to get an egg inside a bottle without squishing it. It is so egg-citing!!!

We have posted pictures on our science board outside our class from past science days. Stop by to see them.

Turkeys in disguise

By now you have seen the turkeys that have come home. Please have your child decorate their turkeys. Be as creative as you want using any materials you have at home. Please don't go out to buy anything special for this project. In the past children have decorated them to look like their favorite sports team, snowmen, Pumpkins, hello Kitty, Spiderman and even to look like themselves just to name a few. Have fun with this project. We will be hanging them in the hall so stop by to see them.
