Sharing:
Week of 9/17: A Fall poem or song
Week of 9/24: A special family tradition

Preparation Tips:
1. Start with introducing yourself.
2. Add 2 or 3 sentences to describe your topic.
3. Stand up straight, look at your audience, and speak clearly.
4. For something extra, bring a picture or photo of your grandparents.

Book Bags:
Inside your book bag is a village list of our students. Please put this list away in a special place. We hope it will come in handy at home.

It's VERY important that you return all parts of the book bag on Thursday morning next week.

Language Arts:
This week we continued our unit on Family. Each child wrote about his/her own amazing family.

Our classes also have been working on making text-to-self connections. This is when we read a book and stop to discuss how we have had similar experiences to the story. You can do this at home when you read with your child, too.

For extra credit, please check your teacher's blog and answer the question!

Math:
This week we started our number sense strand. Concepts we worked on include:

• skip counting by two's, five's, and ten's
• matching numbers to pictures
• the vocabulary more/less/the same
• fact families
• using hundred's chart
  

Science:
Little Blue is learning about making healthy living. Taking care of yourself means treating yourself well every single day--looking out for your body, your mind, and your spirit.
