Hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Well we are going to begin our new Theme called Colors All Around! In this theme we will read stories that discuss colors and we will discuss COLORS all around! We will be doing a very special homework activity where each day we will bring an item from home that is a specific color for that day and the students will share their items. This will be a great way to talk about colors and have students talk about the things they decided to bring. So parents here are the assignments:
On Monday, October 1, 2012- Red item
On Tuesday, October 2, 2012- Orange Item
On Wednesday, October 3, 2012- Yellow Item
On Thursday, October 4, 2012- Green Item
On Friday, October 5, 2012- Blue Item
On Monday , October 8, 2012- Purple Item
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012- Brown Item
On Wednesday, October 10, 2012- White Item
On Thursday, October 11, 2012- Pink Item
and Friday, October 12, 2012- Gray item
Monday, October 15, 2012 Mrs. Hinchen will do black, so you don't have to worry about that color.
Remember if it is assigned on Monday the child will bring the item the following day... they will share it on a Tuesday.... For each color day I send home a paper bag with a clue. The kids find something from home, put it in the bag and write a few hints. Here is an example:
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call... this is going to be so much fun!
Thanks for your support!
P.S. We need snacks, plastic baggies and paper baggies!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE apples! I love eating them, smelling them, picking them and decorating with them. So, every year I love September rolling around because we get to do fun apple activities! So, this week we will be doing two apple projects, one of them is making and labeling an apple with it's parts (stem, leaf, core, seeds, etc.) and the other is a project based off of the story Ten Apples On Top... be watching for these cute ideas, and pictures to come! Here is a sneak peek at one of the projects. Also, this week we will really be focusing on rhyming! Please work on rhyming with your child at home, in the car, at the park, or anywhere you can fit it in.
We are also starting counting to 5... so we start off really slow, but this is essential to the students' understanding of numbers and how they work.
Also, be watching for the new math homework pages that will be sent home this week.... DON'T throw them away at the end of the week, the topic may run longer than 5 days, so leave the pages in the homework folder until the topic is completed! If you have any questions, please ask.... we are going to have an AWESOME week!
